Chapter 577 Selling customs to Mongolia

Datong, for many people, is a very remote place in the northwest. I have heard of it and have never been there before. The rumors are mostly wind, sand, remote and cold.

In fact, Datong is not like this at all. After the wind blows and snow falls in winter, it is colder than the legendary one.

Wrapped in a fur coat and cotton boots on his feet, Dong Dabao walked in front of the wind, lowering his head, and didn't dare to lift his face.

Even if your face is already wrapped, once the wind blows in, it will instantly take away the warmth of the person.

Dong Dabao looked sideways and squinted his eyes, looking at the direction, and walked along one street to the other.

Beside him, Wang Dahu followed closely, and from time to time raised his head to look around.

Compared to Dong Dabao, Wang Dahu seemed much more cautious. He hid his right hand in his arms not to warm his hands, but to hide a knife.

In Datong, Wang Dahu felt no sense of security, and felt that someone might rush out anytime and anywhere to kill himself and his adults.

Dong Dabao didn't say anything about Wang Dahu's caution, and he actually didn't have any confidence in his heart.

After a few turns, the two of them came to an alley.

"Are you sure you are here?" Dong Dabao asked Wang Dahu in a low voice after hiding under the eaves.

"Sir, it's here." Wang Dahu nodded and said, "Ma Du lives here. Our people have already found out. He is inside now."

After hearing this, Dong Dabao nodded and said nothing.

Ma Du, one of Ma Fang's grandsons, is not very big now. He served as a commander in Datong and commanded a guard. He can be regarded as a local senior officer in the Ming Dynasty. If he goes up, he should be a general.

Dong Dabao and the others stood at the base of the wall and did not continue to move forward. Instead, they looked around from time to time, obviously judging whether anyone was following.

After waiting for a while, no one came up again, and the two of them walked into the depths of the alley.

Soon, the two of them arrived at the entrance of a small courtyard, and the gate was closed.

Wang Dahu stood aside and looked at the wind, and Dong Dabao walked up and knocked on the door gently.

The sound of the slap quickly alarmed the people in the yard.

Obviously, the people inside didn't expect that in this kind of weather, there would be someone coming to the door so late.

"Here you come." Someone agreed and then walked out of it.

The doorman wrapped his cotton jacket and opened the door, opened a gap, and looked outside.

He glanced at Dong Dabao, and the concierge asked impatiently: "Who are you? What's the matter?"

"Let's meet Ma Du." Dong Dabao said in a deep voice: "We are from the capital. Ma Dashui asked us to bring a letter to Ma Du. Let us in quickly."

Upon hearing this, the doorman's face changed, and he naturally supported the people of the Ma family.

He opened the door and let the two of them beneath the eaves. The doorman said, "You guys wait here, I'll go in and report immediately."

After saying that, he looked around outside the door again before closing the door.

Then, the doorman walked to the side and knocked on the door, and two more walked out of the inside.

After the concierge explained the two of them, he walked into the yard.

The two who had just walked out didn't say anything, just looked at Dong Dabao and the others quietly.

Not long after, the sound of footsteps sounded again in the yard, and the creaking sound of stepping on the snow, and a strong man walked out of it.

When he arrived at the doorman, the strong man looked at Dong Dabao and the others vigilantly and asked, "Did you come from the capital?"

Dong Dabao nodded and said, "Yes."

"Does my grandfather have anything to explain?" asked the strong man Ma Du again.

"Yes, but I can't say it here." Dong Dabao said again.

"Then you come with me." Ma No. 1 nodded, turned around and walked into the house.

Dong Dabao and Wang Dahu were relieved and followed Ma Du into the lobby.

After walking in, Ma Du stared at Dong Dabao and asked, "Who are you? Don't lie, you can't be my grandfather's people."

Obviously, Dong Dabao's lies were exposed, and there were special people who passed on messages between the grandfather and grandson. Dong Dabao had long thought of this.

But it doesn't matter. Dong Dabao reached out and took out a token from his arms, held it in front of his chest and said, "We are indeed not sent by Marshal Ma."

"The person from the North Town Fushi," Ma said with a frown: "Who are you?"

"The commander of the Northern Fufu Department, Dong Dabao." Dong Dabao said directly: "I came here this time, I hope I can get your help."

"Dong Dabao?" After hearing this name, Ma Du raised his eyebrows and said, "Aren't you from Dongchang? Why are you pretending to be the Jinyiwei?"

This is something Dong Dabao didn't expect, and Ma Dong actually knew him.

"Do you know me?" Dong Dabao asked in confusion.

"I've been to the capital." Ma Du nodded and said, "Of course I have heard of you. The person with the most popular and famous name in the East Factory was. I really didn't expect that you actually came to the northwest, and in the name of the Jinyiwei."

"For convenience," Dong Dabao nodded without explaining in detail, and said, "This time I came to the northwest, and I was ordered by the emperor to do the job. I didn't need to disturb the place, but the situation is a bit special now, and I need your help."

Ma Du did not agree directly, but hesitated.

Speaking of which, the two of them have no direct relationship with each other. Even if you come to do the job, I don’t need to help you.

However, Ma Dong also knew the weight of Dong Dabao, and this time he came with the emperor's imperial edict.

"Why are you looking for me?" Ma asked in a deep voice.

"Because I don't know who should believe." Dong Dabao replied: "In this place, I don't know who is still loyal to the court. But I know that your grandfather is loyal to the court."

"Poetry and books cannot be passed down from family, but loyalty and righteousness can be passed down from generation to generation." Dong Dabao said with a serious face: "I believe that Marshal Ma's grandson must be loyal to the court."

After hearing what Dong Dabao said so seriously, Ma Du's face also changed.

"Is anyone going to rebel?" Ma asked with some excitement.

Ma Yu couldn't imagine anything else if he could make Dong Dabao so serious.

If someone really rebels, he must be in charge.

After hearing this, Dong Dabao showed an awkward look on his face.

He hesitated for a moment and said, "Nothing."

Seeing Ma Yue's disappointed look, Dong Dabao said quickly: "But it's almost done."

"Then tell me." Ma Du sat down and said with an indifferent look on his face.

Ma Yue also had some thoughts in his mind. He didn't want to stay in a bitter and cold place like the northwest, and he also wanted to go to the capital to find his grandfather.

But it is difficult to leave the Northwest without making contributions.

If someone really rebelled this time and caused a big deal, Ma Du was indeed willing to help him Dong Dabao settle the matter, and that would allow him to be promoted.

With such a great contribution, it should not be an exaggeration to transfer yourself to the capital.

But what this guy said was so serious, and the result was not a big deal, which made Ma Du suddenly lose interest.

If you are asking yourself to run errands for him and do something small, you will lose interest.

When Dong Dabao saw Ma Du’s appearance, he knew that the other party had high expectations. If what he said was not a big deal, the other party would definitely not help.

Dong Dabao said with a dark face: "This time it is indeed a big deal. Someone colluded with Mongolia to prepare to sell the pass."

Upon hearing this, Ma Yu stood up and said in shock: "There is such a thing? Who is so bold? Tell me quickly."

He now looked surprised and full of expectations.

Dong Dabao suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. Did he make things too big?

But all the words have been said, so it is naturally impossible to take them back.

Dong Dabao said: "We don't know who it is for the time being."

"What did you find?" Ma Du still looked excited and asked with unabashed interest: "If you have any places you need me, just say it, I will definitely help."

He is really interested now.

This matter is a big deal, and someone wants to sell it to Mongolia. Such a big thing is simply a huge contribution!

Compared to rebellion, this contribution is almost the same, and it is even greater.

But Ma Du can't figure it out, who is so stupid to do such a thing?

What benefits will it do you do to sell the Ming Dynasty to Mongolia?

But it doesn't matter. Since someone does this, it's good to stop him and make great contributions.

It is best to let the Mongols come over, fight a war and make a great contribution.

Dong Dabao was a little embarrassed. He actually made up the matter of selling off, so he didn't dare to confirm it. However, he had finished this and could not take it back.

Dong Dabao said: "We found out that some people are buying grain, supplies, and some are buying iron; some people are recruiting craftsmen in the city and are building weapons."

"We received the news that these people were preparing supplies for the Tartars. When the Tartars arrived, they would turn on and put the Tartars in, and collude with inside and outside."

"We have traced some clues, but we have not yet determined who the mastermind behind the scenes. I have reported this matter. Please send Mahjong to the northwest to preside over this matter."

Dong Dabao did not lie about this sentence. He did write this letter to the emperor and asked the emperor to send Marshal Ma over.

If something really happens, someone must make the decision.

If the Mongolians really come, they may have to fight. The current situation is that they don’t know anything, who can believe it, who cannot believe it, and they may not know it. If they really fight, it may be very troublesome.

If you have to make the decision alone, if you really fight with the grassland, the Ming Dynasty will be invincible.
