Four hundred and fiftieth chapters sharpening knife Huo Huo to Shanxi merchants
Chapter 456: Sharpening the knife and rushing to the Jin merchants
"Okay! I really want to start a massacre today... Some people should die; some people should kill; some people should be killed; some people should be crushed and ashes; some people should no longer know who their ancestors are. If I don't kill them, they will not be their own Han people..." Yang Jing had a murderous aura and hatred. This murderous aura and hatred had always been depressed in his heart. Some hatreds, even from every history of the 17th year of Chongzhen, gathered layer by layer on layer by layer on Yang Jing.
Fang Hongzan listened to the emperor's cold murderous words and lay on the ground, feeling very frightened. He mustered up a great courage to look up and peek at the emperor, and was immediately shocked by the emperor's murderous intent and hatred! The emperor, who has always been gentle, is this murderous intent and hatred, is too strong, so strong that it makes people suffocate, and then quickly put his mind down. Only when he kneels on the ground can he feel more comfortable.
"Do you know how to kill someone this time?" Yang Jie asked coldly.
"Return to Your Majesty, according to Your Majesty's list, these people will be arrested and tortured, and asked who is a member of the party, who is the backbone, and who is involved. As long as they are related people, they will not let go of any of them and will kill all these thieves who are plotting against rebellion..." Fang Hongzan immediately said that this is basically the case handling process of their Jinyiwei. He asked one a member of the party, then tortured and tortured, and asked another a member of the party until the entire network of relations was uprooted. This method of handling cases is simple but the most effective. No one can survive the severe torture of the Pacification Department.
"Reply to Your Majesty, I will follow your majesty. If your Majesty asks me to kill, I will kill anyone. Whoever deserves to die, I will listen to your majesty..." Cao Huachun was much more straightforward than Fang Hongzan. Anyway, he decided that the emperor said the most. He would do whatever the emperor asked him to do. As for whether he was guilty, this was not a question he considered.
"Yes, I need such a person." Yang Jing responded without any emotion.
Fang Hongzan became panicked. The emperor did not respond after he spoke. When Cao Huachun spoke, the emperor praised him. Could it be that he was not cruel enough? He looked up quietly at the emperor. The emperor was almost "gentle", but the "gentleness" he used to be could not be found.
"This case of Shanxi merchants' rebellion is not a small case. The water here is very deep. I really want to start a massacre this time, but how to arrest, how to kill, and how to handle the case is a matter that must be considered. Have you ever thought that Shanxi merchants can convey information to the Donglu and transport materials, food, and weapons to the Donglu? Without the support of the side officials, they can transport large amounts of food, grass and materials to the Donglu? The rise of the Donglu has not been a year or two. Who knows whether these border generals who are internal agents have been promoted? Perhaps, it is not clear that a minister in my court is now..." Yang Jing still said coldly.
Fang Hongzan and Cao Huachun were even more shocked and sweated. According to the emperor's words, this time the Shanxi merchants and the enthronement case would have been connected with the ministers in the court? In other words, this is a shocking case of rebellion involving the Eastern Barbarians, Shanxi merchants, border generals, and ministers in the court? This is really a big "buy"! No wonder the emperor was so angry. I don't know how many people were going to land. This time, I'm afraid there would be more kills than the last Wei case. In the last Wei case, the emperor mainly charged a few dollars to "get things over". The person is still very gentle and easy to talk to. Like this time, the murderous intent and hatred around the emperor has reached a point where people cannot breathe. I don't know how many people will kill to calm the emperor's anger.
"Reply to Your Majesty, I understand what to do. No matter how big an official he is, he dares to rebel, in my eyes, he is just a dead person..." Fang Hongzan immediately said viciously. Fang Hongzan already knew the basic content of this case from the emperor's words. Killing the Shanxi merchants and digging a high-ranking official in the court, let alone whether there is any evidence to point to a minister in the court. If the emperor said it was related to a minister, then he would be "related". Of course, if it was really related, it would be better, and it would be better that he would be "related". Being able to be the leader of the Jinyiwei is not a fool. The emperor said so much, if he could not hear anything from the words and could not understand the emperor's meaning, it would not be his turn to do the leader of the Jinyiwei.
"When you go back to Your Majesty, I understand Your Majesty's difficulties and will surely confirm the Shanxi merchants' rebellion and enfeoffment, and make an ironclad case. Even if the three officials are asked to be tried, I will definitely leave the ministers in the court without saying anything..." Cao Huachun thought more thoroughly and had a deeper understanding of the emperor. The emperor was not the kind of targetless person, nor did he like to make things happen out of nothing. Since the emperor was so confident that the border generals were involved with the court officials, Cao Huachun really believed that there was this matter. Since there was this matter, it would be easy to deal with. There was no need to worry about not being able to find evidence. With excellent evidence, Cao Huachun was confident and the ministers did not dare to say anything to the emperor.
"Okay, as long as you can understand the power of this, I have some requirements for this matter, you must remember it, and you must act quickly, accurately and ruthlessly, and do not drag it out. Not only these people are arrested, including their family, relatives, shop owners, shopkeepers, carriages, horse teams, guides, these may have participated in Tonglu, and no one should be left. After the arrest, interrogate immediately and ask how much materials were transported outside the pass, which passes the way, who is the way to pass, who is protected, and who is related to contact, and who is related to whom... At least two messages are sent to the capital every day, and there is new evidence and major news, and they will be sent to the capital immediately. These will be evidence in the future and must be recorded one by one. Otherwise, if there is no evidence in the future, the courtiers will clamor, and you will also have trouble... In addition, I want to remind you that there will be any evidence in the future.
You, this time, you will be searching the house, and it will involve robbery, a large number of silver and wealth. Some people in the Jinyiwei who are short-handed may take the opportunity to stretch their hands in it. I know that this is difficult to ban, and I will not be unkind. If the matter is done this time, I will specially draw a part of it as a reward for the Jinyiwei. However, when handling the case, you must not reach out. This point cannot be overcome. According to my reliable information, in addition to transporting materials from the Donglu, the Shanxi merchants also robbed the Donglu of the Ming Dynasty and transferred the gold, silver and wealth of our Ming Dynasty to the mainland to cash in, and paid for the food, supplies, and these goods they bought were all evidence of their Tonglu. After they were found, they would register and keep it well. I would still use it in the future. If someone dared to reach out, it would be a bad thing for me. If you dare to ruin my affairs, you might as well chop off a few of them..." Yang Jing said sternly.
Listening to the emperor's stern tone, Fang Hongzan and Cao Huachun didn't dare to let out a sigh of anger. After hearing the emperor finished speaking, he answered carefully. Looking at the emperor's careful planning, this matter was not just revealed.
"Cao Huachun, this time, you will go there personally and stay in Shanxi. No matter who is involved, you will be imprisoned immediately. Ask what should be asked, and fight what should be attacked. Dig up quickly and dig out the "insider" hidden inside our dynasty. No matter who is involved, you will never tolerate it. Those involved in local civil and military officials can be isolated and controlled first, so that they will not let him communicate with the outside world, and report it to me quickly and wait for me to deal with it..." Yang Jingwei said again.
"I received the order!" Cao Huachun agreed immediately, feeling a little happy. The emperor gave him such a big thing, which means that the emperor trusted him. This matter was accomplished, but a great achievement, and his weight in the emperor's mind was naturally self-evident.
Cao Huachun thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, I have few people in the Military Intelligence Bureau. For such a big deal, the Military Intelligence Bureau may not have enough staff, and maybe I have to send additional staff."
"Don't worry, I know this. You can call some Jinyiwei people to help you handle the case. Your people are mainly to handle the case. Dig out the inner responders of our dynasty, insiders, and the new army will go with you. The new army will start today. I will transfer a group of new army in the name of Shaanxi's replacement defense. You will handle this case first. After arresting some people, there is significant evidence. In the name of the local garrison, report to me, and ask for help from passing new army. They will definitely help. They are responsible for assisting and helping you on the road, *** news, watch the suspects, watch the robbers involved in the case, and shock the local area. If someone dares to resist and kill them on the spot, I will give you the Shangfang sword and act cheaply. Then you can contact the new army.
Just take my Shangfang sword, and they understood that, however, the matter involves secrets, and the Shangfang sword must not be taken out unless it is absolutely necessary..." Yang Jingwei said that Yang Jingwei was worried that he could get a lot of money in the Shanxi merchant case. Just relying on the Jinyiwei, Yang Jing suspected that there was not much money to get his hands on. This time, Yang Jingwei's previous idea was to use the Military Intelligence Bureau to the outside and the Jinyiwei to the inside to disperse the rights of the spies to facilitate his own control. This time, Yang Jingwei decided to let the Military Intelligence Bureau take action. Of course, the Military Intelligence Bureau is still affiliated with the Jinyiwei, and to outsiders, they are all Jinyiwei.
"I received the order!" Cao Huachun breathed a sigh of relief. This task was easier than originally imagined. Since the emperor had used the new army, it means that the emperor had already touched the situation here. Otherwise, he would not have used the new army by himself. He would have dug out the things hidden deep in the water and dug out the things that were already there. It was a relatively "simple" job. Cao Huachun believed that with his "case handling" methods, it would be impossible to dig out the things that were originally "existent". He did not believe that anyone could withstand the torture of the Pacification Department. He was worried that he would "produce evidence". Now it seems that he might not have to do this by himself.
"I am here to warn you again that this matter must be kept confidential. Don't ask what should not be asked, don't say what should not be said. If you ask randomly, talk randomly, and ask about news everywhere, you can treat it as a traitor. This is also applicable to the Jinyiwei..." Yang Jing mentioned the matter of confidentiality and put the tight hoop on the Jinyiwei's head.
"I (slave) receive the order!" Fang Hongzan and Cao Huachun agreed immediately.
"Report to Your Majesty, that minister..." Fang Hongzan saw that Cao Huachun had been assigned to work in Shanxi, but he was not yet settled, so he couldn't help but get anxious. At this critical moment, he couldn't contribute to the emperor, so what did the emperor want him to do?
"You have something more important. This matter is very wide. The capital and all parts of the country may be constantly involved in this matter. You are in charge of the capital and pay close attention to the situation in various places. Once you find that you are involved in the Shanxi merchant case, take action immediately. At that time, you will be busy." Yang Jiewei said.
"I obey the order!" Fang Hongzan's heart was pounding. It seemed that the emperor's actions were quite big and involved the whole country. I don't know how deep the water this time! However, looking at the emperor's meticulous arrangements, it seemed that he was sure to win, and Fang Hongzan's heart was beating wildly.
"The big partner is responsible for monitoring the situation in the capital. If someone in the court moves abnormally, come and report it to me immediately." Yang Jingwei said again.
"I received the order!" Wang Chengen also agreed solemnly.
"I won't say much about the rest. When you two go back, mobilize people immediately and start taking action. Be careful not to reveal any news about this matter. Let's talk about it when you are at the beginning. Be sure to handle this matter for me, so let's do it now." Yang Jingwei said seriously.
"I will receive the order!" Several people agreed.
...
Finally, Yang Jie's tense heart was sent away, and finally calmed down a little. This matter had already started and there was no room for nothing, so he could only do his best.
"Great companion, summon Master Sun, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and others to see me." Yang Jie immediately saw the second group of people. The matter had already started, so he had to take ruthless measures.
"I'll go now." Wang Chengen responded and went out immediately.
Yang Jie sat in the warm room in a daze, recalling carefully what had loopholes in his own way.
Soon, Sun Chengzong and Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming arrived at the Warm Pavilion.
Still, Yang Jie asked Wang Chengen to transfer the young eunuch he served.
When Sun Chengzong saw that it was Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming who followed him, he probably knew what was going on when he saw this atmosphere.
After entering the warm room, he saluted. Sun Chengzong took the lead and asked, "Your Majesty, have you taken action on this matter?"
"Yes, I have taken action. I have ordered Cao Huachun to go to Shanxi." Yang Jing has calmed down a lot. Now he has taken action. No matter how excited he is, hesitating, or hesitating, or hesitating, or hesitating, the rest is to cheer up and fight against the damn people.
"...Your Majesty finally took action!" Sun Chengzong sighed and said, "The emperor has been planning for this day for a long time. Some people really deserve to die, and some people must die. In this matter, Sun Chengzong supported the emperor unconditionally. Back then, he was in charge of Liaodong outside the pass and had feelings for people and affairs in Liaodong. Those people were a disaster. If there were no those people, the Eastern Captain might not be so rampant, and the people in Liaodong might not die so many.
The emperor and Sun Chengzong were both silent. Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming looked at the emperor and Sun Chengzong in surprise, not knowing what these two were talking about.
"Today, it's the day you're going to Shaanxi. Are you ready?" Yang Jie was silent for a while, but broke the silence and asked.
"Your Majesty, I am ready, I have long been hoping to go to the battlefield." Kong Youde immediately agreed happily. Wu Sangui fought many wars in Shaanxi. Although he was just to deal with some bandits and was not as famous as fighting outside the pass, he was envious of everyone within the new army. Wu Sangui was known as the number one person in the new army, so he was naturally the target of others chasing.
"Okay! Now we are going to do something, I want to ask you to do something." It's the last moment, and some things must be explained clearly in person, and they can only be explained to those you trust.
"Please give your orders, I will do it." The two of them immediately bowed and replied.
"There is something here, you can take a look first." Yang Jingying signaled Wang Chengen to show the "document" to the two of them.
Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming were puzzled. What else could the emperor not do? He asked them to? What is this? After the two of them picked it up and looked at it, their faces changed drastically.
After a little look, you will immediately understand the content of this thing and the meaning they represent.
"Your Majesty, Shanxi Jin merchants really plan to rebel? The miserable defeats outside the pass are really related to them?" Kong Youde was shocked. According to this thing, it was because of Shanxi Jin merchants and Tonglu that the Eastern Barbarians knew the Ming Dynasty clearly. Many miserable defeats outside the pass are somewhat related to theirs. In other words, they fought many defeats before and died many brothers because of the good things done by these Wang Badan.
Geng Zhongming also had red eyes and looked like he wanted to eat people. They fought many times with the Donglu outside the pass, and countless people died. Now the emperor told them that the reason why they were defeated outside the pass was related to the Shanxi Shang Tonglu, and their lungs were almost irritated.
"Yes, I got this news by chance, and the authenticity is beyond doubt. The many miserable defeats outside the Ming Dynasty are more or less related to them. In the past, there were rumors that many cities were broken, and there were people inside to respond. I thought it was a detailed work sent by the Donglu. Now it seems that someone in my dynasty was a 'ghost' to help them." Yang Jing said calmly. Facing the two "anti-kings" with red eyes, Yang Jing believed that if they gave them a chance, they would definitely not turn around and defect to their enemies.
"Your Majesty..." Kong Youde's tears came out the first time. "...Your Majesty, brothers are wronged!... They shouldn't have died at first..." Kong Youde couldn't control his tears and started crying first.
"...Your Majesty, such a traitor, I wish I could drink his blood and eat his flesh..." Geng Zhongming said with red eyes and hatred, tears in his eyes rolling.
"I know you are sad, and this mission is also related to this matter." Yang Jing said with some regret. In history, these two monks Kexi were forced into the camp of the Later Jin Dynasty and became the main force of defeating the Southern Ming after the Later Jin Dynasty entered the pass. Why did they work so hard? It is probably related to the hatred in their hearts.
"...Your Majesty, are you going to catch these people?" Kong Youde wiped his tears slightly. A man's tears didn't flick it easily because he had not reached the sad place. If he had not touched the sad place in his heart, how could he cry? Those who have seen blood and are used to seeing dead people will not cry easily.
"Yes, no, I have handed over this matter to the Jinyiwei, but this matter involves a wide range of issues, and may involve border generals or even senior officials in the court. Therefore, the Jinyiwei alone may not be able to capture the local area. Your task is to assist the Jinyiwei in handling cases, monitor the personnel involved in the case, monitor the traffic, monitor the thieves, and capture the local area..." Yang Jing told the two of them about the task.
"...Your Majesty..." Kong Youde really wanted to plead with the emperor. He also wanted to handle the case, and he wanted to cut all those who killed his brothers and Liaodong into pieces. But after thinking about it for a moment, he didn't say anything. The emperor's arrangements were not something he could do just by saying that he could change. Besides, they were in the army, and this was a case. It was naturally not their turn to handle the case. The emperor asked them to assist in handling the case and believed them very much.
"I obey the order!" Geng Zhongming came to his senses and immediately accepted the order. Kong Youde also came to his senses and followed the orders.
"You set out today, at the speed of the chariot camp, you will be slower than the Jinyiwei. When you arrive in Shanxi, it is estimated that the case of Jinyiwei is also famous and will contact you. You will use my Shangfang Sword as your contact. Once Jinyiwei contacts you, you will immediately station in Shanxi. While assisting Jinyiwei, you will immediately report to me that I will give you the imperial edict co-organized by the garrison... As for why this is the case, I am worried that I will send you to the beginning.
When you go, the court officials will have doubts, and will be criticized and opposed by the court officials. The matter will start before it can be done. There is no need to do this. Therefore, I will catch him off guard and get all the evidence. Therefore, in the name of your going to Shaanxi to change defense, you will be arranged to pass through Shanxi. Once the matter involves rebellion, the Jinyiwei asks you for help on the grounds that the matter involves the local garrison and the border generals, and you will be able to go on stage..." Yang Jingyi said his arrangement.
"I understand, I will receive the order." The two people replied immediately.
"Okay! Just understand. There are still some situations that need to be explained to you. This matter is of great importance. The reason why Shanxi merchants can communicate to the Donglu for many years and sell food and supplies must be protected by border generals. Therefore, the matter will involve local garrisons and border generals. So, you must be prepared just in case..." Yang Jing ordered again, not to be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of one, if someone is anxious, he will not be able to afford to lose.
"I understand..." the two agreed.
"In addition, I also want to say that I see the discipline of the new army the most. This time, the case will definitely be suspected of being investigated. If the new army cannot observe the discipline, don't blame me for being ruthless. I don't expect him to fight. Those who are jealous of money can betray their comrades on the battlefield. What's the use of such a person?" Yang Jing said with a stern face and aggressive expression.
"I understand what to do." Kong Youde understood what the emperor meant. If someone was wronged, don't blame him.
"I understand..." Geng Zhongming also said.
"Okay, just be sure you understand. The most taboo thing about this matter is to leak secrets. The word confidentiality is what you need to pay attention to most. Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't say what you shouldn't say, and don't say what you shouldn't say. Always ask this and that. Those who inquire about the news of this case can be regarded as accomplices of the plot." Yang Jing instructed again.
"I received the order." The two of them agreed again.
"Okay, I won't keep you anymore. Go and prepare quickly and set off immediately. Be careful not to keep your anger on your face. This will easily make people with interest see the problem." Yang Jing ordered.
"I understand, thank Your Majesty for your kindness, I will leave." The two of them wiped their faces and wiped an angry face with grief and anger into a solid piece, with only those red eyes, which could not be changed for the time being.
Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming left.
Yang Jie breathed a sigh of relief again.
"I have done everything I should do, and the rest depends on God's will." Yang Jing sighed to Sun Chengzong. He had done everything he could do, and he had to wait for the news for the rest.
Chapter completed!
