Traveling through the late Ming Dynasty: I have a super system

Chapter 113 Traitor Shanxi Merchants - Part [-]

After discussing the cooperation with Zheng Zhilong, Lin Yuhao didn't stop in the waters of Dayuan Island.

Instead, he returned to Liaodong immediately and actively prepared to open up business in the south.

In the blink of an eye, another year passed, and the Ming Dynasty officially ushered in the 13th year of Apocalypse.

This year, Liaodong ushered in many changes.

First of all, it was Sun Chengzong, the governor of Ji Liao Dynasty, because of his great achievements.He was promoted to the cabinet by Emperor Tianqi and became the second assistant of the cabinet.

The one who replaced him was the former cabinet minister Gaudi.

As a cabinet minister, he parachuted into Liaodong as the governor of Jiliao.It can be seen that Emperor Tianqi still attaches great importance to Liaodong.

The supervision over here was not relaxed because Jiannu was expelled to northern Liaoning.

On April 13th of the [-]th year of Tianqi, Gaodi officially took up the post of Jiliao Supervisor in Shanhaiguan.

Ma Shilong, Chief Soldier of Jiliao, Man Gui, Deputy Chief of Jiliao, Yuan Erwuzai, Governor of Liaodong, Mao Yuanyi, Governor of Shanhaiguan, and Lin Yuhao, all civil and military ministers of Liaodong, welcomed the new governor at the Governor's Mansion of Jiliao.

After Gao Di met with all Liaodong officials in Ji Liao Governor's Mansion.Let them go back to their respective offices, leaving only Lin Yuhao alone.

For this, many Liaodong officials were extremely envious of Lin Yuhao!Being able to build a good relationship with the two governors of Ji Liao is not something everyone can do!

But if envy is envy, there is no other way.People have that strength!Besides, there are so many officials in Liaodong.A few of them didn't get promoted to official positions after they won battles and followed Zhanguang.

At this time, Lin Yuhao was also in a daze.

What does Mr. Gaudi mean?Just leave yourself alone!
However, it didn't take long for Lin Yuhao to know the answer!

Gaodi, who sat on the first seat, looked at Lin Yuhao with a smile on his face and asked, "Master Lin, it has been 11 years since the second year of Tianqi. Liaodong is precisely because of the presence of capable ministers like you, Master Lin."

"The situation in Liaodong has been truly reversed, so I have something to ask you."

Hearing that Gao Di had something to ask himself, Lin Yuhao leaned over and saluted and said, "My lord asks questions, and my subordinates should know everything they want to say."

Gaudi's smile grew stronger: "My lord Lin, although you now hold the title of commander of the Beijing New Army, fundamentally speaking, you cannot be regarded as a real court official."

"I am an official of the Ming Dynasty, and civil servants take the imperial examination, and military officers are mostly hereditary. As a military officer of the Ming Dynasty, you have been promoted step by step by relying on military merits."

"But one thing is, those hereditary military officers. They look down upon and disdain generals like you who are not hereditary military officers."

"Besides, you are very powerful in Liaodong now. Even if the current emperor doesn't suspect you, those hereditary military officers will try their best to suppress you."

"This is very detrimental to your future development. Now the situation in Liaodong is at peace. Your Majesty has the intention to continue to cultivate you, once there is war in other places in Ming Dynasty."

"In addition to the new army in the Beijing camp, I will definitely transfer you, Mr. Lin."

"So, what this old man thinks is, Mr. Lin, can you really serve the court? No longer serve the country as a civil righteous man, but serve the country as an official official of the Ming Dynasty."

After listening to Gaudi, Barabara said a lot.Lin Yuhao finally understood why Mr. Gaodi left him alone today.

Yes, Liaodong today.Everyone can see it, the military aspect.It is my own family that dominates, and the Liaodong New Army of other ministries are all trained by myself.

Emperor Tianqi claimed to be the master of Zhongxing, so he might not doubt himself.But what if the emperor changes in the future?For example, Chongzhen, the last emperor of Ming Dynasty.

Once he has doubts about himself, he must be in constant trouble.

In addition, he had already heard about it from Fang Zhenghua.Many officials of the Donglin Party who have lost power have close contacts with him, the current Daming Xinwang.

Once he takes the throne, he will use the words of the Donglin Party.

With how much the Donglin Party hated him, his future fate would definitely not be too good.

So, Gaudí proposed.Let him give up his status as a civil righteous man and serve the court instead.

It is a good strategy, more or less let yourself encounter emergencies in the future.

There is enough time to arrange countermeasures.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuhao bowed to Gaodi again and said: "Master Gao, you still need to consider your proposal to be an official. After all, an official has a big family and a great career, so please give me some time, Lord Gao."

Gaodi stroked his beard and said: "That's natural, Mr. Lin, after you think about it. You can come to me at any time, with my face."

"It's still possible for you, Master Lin, to find a good official position in the court."

Lin Yuhao bowed and said, "That's it, I would like to thank Mr. Gao for his cultivation."

Gaodi nodded in satisfaction and said, "Okay, Mr. Lin has worked hard all the way too. After going down, take a good rest!"

"Yes, the subordinate retire."

After walking out of Jiliao Governor's Mansion, Lin Yuhao went to the Lvye Xianxia restaurant in Shanhaiguan.

The Tianzi No. [-] room on the sixth floor of the restaurant is where Lin Yuhao stayed in Shanhaiguan.

On April 13th, [-]th year of Tianqi, Lin Yuhao, who returned to Jingdong Acropolis, saw a piece of information sent by his subordinates.

Jiannu, who had been huddled in northern Liaoning, has made another big move recently.

They sent someone to secretly contact Jiexiu Fan's family, one of the Shanxi merchants, hoping to purchase [-] shi of grain from Fan's business.

Fifty thousand shi of grain, a huge amount.Judging from the strictness of the current imperial court's grain supervision, it is no easy task to collect such a huge amount of grain.

Once it attracts the attention of the imperial court, with the temper of today's majesty.It is very possible to make the decision to confiscate the family and exterminate the family.

They, Jiexiu Fan's family, really couldn't bear such a big anger.

Therefore, Fan Yongdou, the head of Jiexiu Fan's family, immediately contacted several other Shanxi merchants.Let them help themselves to share and raise the [-] shi of grain, that is, to cooperate and share the risk.

As for the money obtained from selling grain, it will be shared with several other Shanxi merchants according to the amount of supply afterwards.

There were seven people who helped Fan Yongdou raise food: Wang Dengku, Jin Liangyu, Wang Dayu, Liang Jiabin, Tian Shenglan, Zhai Tang and Huang Yunfa.

These seven of them are also Shanxi merchants, and together with Jiexiu Fan's family, they are called the Eight Great Masters of Shanxi Merchants.

They had hooked up with Jianu for a long time, when Chief Wild Boarskin was in charge.

These Shanxi merchants have repeatedly transported grain out of the border and sold it to the Houjin Khanate.

Shanxi merchants even informed the wild boarskin of many important news in advance through the eyes and ears installed in the court.

Lin Yuhao, who traveled to the Ming Dynasty, is familiar with the history of later generations.He also focused on the eight Shanxi merchants early in the morning, and he also prepared for a long time for this.

In his study, he wrote a letter to Guiyi Hanbuhe of the Horqin Tribe. There were only eight words in the letter: Let those children come back!
Then a messenger took the letter to the Horqin Grassland.

After that, he asked someone to send a letter to his second brother Man Gui.Ask him to send troops to help him do a big event, and promise him to get [-] shi of military rations afterwards.

Just in case, he also wrote a notebook.He sent someone to Shanhaiguan, and told Gaodi about a military operation he would have in the near future.

Ask him to help himself withstand the pressure no matter what, and temporarily suppress some things.

The harvest of spring plowing is from the end of May to the beginning of June, so in terms of time.Lin Yuhao still has a lot of spare time, and he can calmly arrange this military operation against the Shanxi Merchants' Grain Transport Team.

From the fourth year of the apocalypse, Lin Yuhao was in a certain place in Horqin Grassland.Ask Bu He to help, secretly train a cavalry unit.

The main source of this cavalry is thousands of mute children, after the survival of the fittest and extremely strict training.520 people were selected from them to form a powerful cavalry.

Lin Yuhao gave a special cavalry a famous name: Silent Cavalry.

Silent words iron rider, everyone is equipped with three war horses.Wearing black armor, helmet and visor made of light alloy steel.

In addition, their weapons and equipment are also very sophisticated: four M67 grenades per person, one Type 240 submachine gun, a silver moon scimitar made of fine steel, a pair of pulley bows made of fine steel, and three steel quivers for storage. There are [-] steel arrows.

In addition, each cavalry squad is equipped with a telescope with a [-]-power mirror.

Because they are all dumb, they blow iron whistles to each other.Send out special whistles for communication, and these special whistles cannot be understood by the internal staff of the silent iron cavalry.

After nine years of experience, Lin Yuhao felt that it was time for them to show off.

Their first training target is the food transportation team of the Eight Great Masters of Shanxi Merchants.

He is not afraid of the failure of Mo Yan's iron cavalry to perform the task, and there is his second brother Man Gui on the periphery.Lead the elite cavalry under his command, and give them the bottom line.

Today's Liaodong still maintains a large number of troops.

After regaining the homeland of Liaodong, many Liaodong new troops are busy expanding their troops.

The original 5000 cavalry under Man Gui's command has now expanded to 8000.

The Volunteer Guards stationed in Shanhaiguan, because they need to garrison the recovered homeland of Liaodong.

Following the order of Emperor Tianqi, he also began to expand the army.

From the original [-] cavalry and [-] infantry, it was expanded to [-] cavalry and [-] infantry.

The Guanning New Army also has garrison tasks, ranging from [-] cavalry to [-] infantry.Expanded to [-] cavalry and [-] infantry.

The new armies of various ministries in eastern Liaodong became the new army with the strongest military strength in Ming Dynasty except for the new army of the Beijing camp.

Of course, the Beijing Camp New Army has also completed its expansion.Divided into left and right guards.There are 8 left guards in the Beijing New Army, and [-] veterans in the right guards.There are also [-] newly recruited infantry and [-] cavalry.

For this reason, Emperor Tianqi has issued an order to Lin Yuhao.Ask him to send more howitzers to the capital to arm the newly formed right guard of the new Beijing army.

The current Mongolian grassland is basically dominated by the Horqin tribe.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty could easily buy a large number of war horses to expand the cavalry team.

On April 13th, the [-]th year of Tianqi, all officers and soldiers of Moyan Iron Cavalry gathered at a hidden place ten miles outside Jingdong Weicheng.

Lin Yuhao planned to go out in person and follow Mo Yan's cavalry to complete this mission.

As early as April [-]th, Lin Yuhao sent his guards to Shanxi Shanxi merchants as undercover agents.

The leader of the guard was Zhao Dalong, the captain of the guard, and the rest of the team were: Zhou Guoliang, Ma Huaiyi, Su Tianming, Chen Shihu, Sun Erbao, and Yan Zhaoyang, the youngest of the four Yan brothers.

Their task is to dress up as vagrants and mix into the grain transport teams of Shanxi merchants.Then firework signals were fired along the way to help the Silent Cavalry determine the location of the food delivery team.

Today's land outside the customs, because the Mongolian grasslands are basically the people of the Horqin tribe.And the Jiannu were all huddled in northern Liaoning, so it was normal for Han Chinese grain transportation teams to appear.

The grain transportation team of the Shanxi merchants took the route of the Mongolian grassland to meet up with the receivers sent by Jiannu.

Although Jiannu retreated in northern Liaoning, they were within their jurisdiction.There are also more than 6 Han Chinese enslaved slaves. These people are all hardcore traitors and diehards.

The Shanxi merchants' food transportation teams are all Han Chinese, and even if they encounter the cavalry patrols of the Horqin tribe, they can easily get away with it.

Even if they were trading grain with Jiannu, the recipients were all Han Chinese.

The Horqin tribe's cavalry patrols will not investigate in detail.

But Lin Yuhao knew that it was the receiver sent by Jiannu.Not only were there more than 700 Han Chinese coated slaves, but there were also more than 200 Jiannu vests and infantry.

These people are the elite who survived when the Jiannu army withdrew to northern Liaoning, and their combat effectiveness is extremely strong.The [-] shi of grain will need their protection in the end.

On April [-]th, according to the news sent by Zhao Dalong Feige.

They have successfully mixed into the grain transport team of Shanxi Merchants, and they also learned that the grain transport team will set off on April 25th.

In addition to the [-] direct lineal guards of Jiexiu's Fan family, the grain transportation team also spent money to temporarily hire more than [-] people to help them escort the grain transportation vehicles.

Fifty shi of grain was loaded into a large grain cart with six horses, and a total of [-] grain carts were loaded.

The grain transportation team took the route of Longmen Fort out of the Daming border, and then met with the pickers sent by Jiannu at the Horqin Left Wing Rear Banner to make a deal.

After knowing the specific transaction location, Lin Yuhao immediately made a half-way interception plan.

Lin Yuhao's Mo Yan Iron Cavalry was to destroy the Fan family's food transport team, and Man Gui supported and cooperated from the outside.As for the receivers sent by Jiannu, they were all handed over to the cavalry of the Horqin tribe.

On April 28, the Fan family's grain transportation team successfully left the border of Daming and officially entered the Horqin Grassland.

The entire garrison in Shanxi and Xuanfu Town has long been infiltrated by the Eight Shanxi Merchants.

Their collateral nephews have already controlled nearly [-]% of the Shanxi garrison and the border garrison in Xuanfu Town.

Among the Nine Frontier Army Towns in the Ming Dynasty: Xuanfu Town, Datong Town and Taiyuan, there are all the Eight Great Masters of Shanxi Merchants.

Therefore, the grain transportation team of Shanxi merchants.Since the era of wild boar skin, it has been easy to enter and exit the border of Ming Dynasty.It not only transported food and other materials for the slaves in Liaodong.Sometimes it also contains important information.

Now it is also continuing to deliver food to the slaves far away in northern Liaoning.

Fifty thousand shi of grain is not a small sum.With these grains, Jiannu can recover a lot in terms of strength.

Therefore, in any case, this batch of grain cannot be allowed to flow into the hands of Jiannu in Liaobei.
