Chapter 575
Leave a name in history
Especially the two small businesses that immediately went bankrupt after receiving the goods from Tianyin Trading, which was simply the tertiary industry of the intelligence system.
In order to successfully escape with the money, these two small businesses have been losing money for nearly a year, giving money to Tianyin Business almost every month. Finally, they gained Jin Ran's trust and made money with nothing to make a profit, but they trapped Jin Ran, forcing Jin Ran to nowhere to go.
Xiao Ye knew the mentality of the gambler very well. He forced Jin Ran and Tianyin merchants to a desperate situation by cutting off the firewood from the pot. He also knew very well that Jin Ran would not leave the market and admit defeat, but would bet on all the capital to try to make a profit.
Now he asked Lei Chuyang to give Jin Ran a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: "We will be our own people in the future. If you have any shortage of goods, come to me. I can help you get real gold and silver as soon as possible."
Jin Ran also laughed: "Okay, okay, I will definitely need Boss Lei to take care of him in the future. But Boss Lei, you have many ways and you know many friends. I would like to ask, can some inconvenient goods be transported out of Longkou?"
He lowered his voice and said, "I heard that someone was transporting goods to Liaodong last year, but they were investigated?"
He was talking about the mistake that Jin Baiwan failed. However, now he took over Jin Baiwan's business and had to help Jianzhou Jurchens get enough strategic materials. When Lei Chuyang heard Jin Ran say this, he knew that his mission had been completed at least halfway.
But he said seriously: "Boss Jin, are you afraid of your life? You dare to make such money, it will be a loss of your head! If you are caught, it will definitely be a slaughter."
But Jin Ran smiled bitterly and said, "The capital is small and the profit is low, and I have to support dozens of people. What else can I do if I don't do this business? Boss Lei asked me for inquiries. If it can be done, we can do this business together."
To do this kind of smuggling business, you must have a local tycoon. Although Lei Chuyang is from Shaanxi, he has been in Dengzhou for more than ten years and can be said to be deeply rooted, so Jin Ran wanted to open a gap in him.
For Xiao Ye, he also needs to open a gap in Jin Ran.
Jin Ran's exposure was the result of the Linglong Fire. Although the fire caused great losses to Longkou and Longling Gold Mine, it also exposed the details of the Linqing Association. Xiao Yeshun quickly discovered that Jiannu had actually set up a Tianyin Business in Longkou.
During the investigation of Tianyin Shop, Xiao Ye found that these Jurchens were absolutely bold. This Jurchen, who claimed to be Jin Ran, participated in the Battle of Shishan and escaped from Shengtian under the personal pursuit of Liu Peng and Jiang Qingyue. However, many old men from the patrol team recognized him, but now he actually got into Longkou and became the shopkeeper of Tianyin Shop.
This is more than just being bold and not taking Xiao Ye seriously, so Xiao Ye decided to kill Jin Ran.
But now, although Xiao Ye played Jin Ran in his fingers, he discovered another fatal problem, that is, Tianyin Shang is just a part of the Jurchen intelligence system in Shandong, and Jin Ran is just a pawn of the Jurchens. The Jurchens' real deployment in Shandong has not been exposed at all.
This time, the Jurchens' deployment obviously absorbed the lesson that Jin Baiwan was killed in one place, and no longer put all the eggs in one basket. Jin Ran was only responsible for the Tianyin Trading and related freight smuggling. There were more Jurchen spies hiding in the dark and could launch a fatal attack on Longkou at any time.
What Xiao Ye couldn't stand was that he knew that at least one of the Jurchens had entered Shandong with the elite force of dozens of people, and even directly participated in the attack on the Linglong Gold Mine, but no matter what method he used, he could not find any clues about this force. Jin Ran seemed to have no connection with this force.
Xiao Ye could only be sure of one thing, that is, this underground force should not be in the three east prefectures, but lurking in the three west prefectures and launching attacks at any time. In addition to this underground force and Tianyin Shop, the Jurchens also had other chess pieces, but these chess pieces were not known to Xiao Ye.
But Xiao Ye thought this was definitely just a superficial phenomenon. As long as he worked harder, he could catch the spies sent by the Jurchen Kingdom to Shandong and kill them all.
In this case, Lei Chuyang implemented Xiao Ye's intention well: "Boss Jin said this well. Let's make a fortune together, but you also have to show me some truth. What kind of reliable friends does Boss Jin have in Liaodong? It's best to invite him out and have a meal together so that we can do a big business!"
Lei Chuyang's statement was very reasonable, and Jin Ran could naturally accept it. He immediately agreed: "Okay, if you have the chance, let's have a good meal, and then let Boss Lei see Mr. Jin's strength."
The reason why he wanted to win the trust of Lei Chuyang was that he had to invite heavyweights out, which was what Xiao Ye wanted.
Liu Peng knew nothing about these things, and now he was very happy, especially the edict in his hand made the holiday even more pleasant: "Nurhaci, the minister of the Great Jin Kingdom, issued an edict to the Emperor Tianhoutu: My grandfather has never lost any grass in the Ming border, but the Ming Dynasty has caused trouble to the border for no reason and harmed my grandfather. This is a hatred..."
The edict he held was the seven hatred edicts of Nurhaci's uprising to attack the Ming Dynasty. Although the Jin Dynasty issued this edict for more than a month, Liu Peng was almost the first person in Shandong to read the seven hatred edicts. As he read it, Liu Peng stopped.
"Why don't you read it?" Jiang Qingyue was a little confused: "Can you be the old slave scolding too badly?"
This seven-great edict is an excellent benefit for Longkou. It can even be said that Longkou will benefit a lot from this edict.
Everyone may have been lucky and thought that the Jin army's breakthrough of Fushun Fort was just a border trouble. Although the Ming army in Liaodong even lost a general and suffered countless soldiers and generals, Liaodong has been in conflict and doing business as usual for hundreds of years, and they can live their lives as they should!
You should know that Altan Khan fought at the city of Beijing, but in the end he was not using war to promote and open border cities. No matter how crazy Nurhah was, he would not overestimate himself to conquer the Ming Dynasty.
However, this seven-death edict directly elevates the conflict between the Ming Dynasty and the Jurchens to the level of national war, so that everyone can clearly understand that this is not a border conflict, but a war of destruction between two countries.
Although Jiang Qingyue hated Nurhaci to the core, she had to admit that the bigger the Nurhahe made a fuss in Liaodong, the more beneficial it would be to Longkou: "How ugly is the old slave scolding?"
But Wei Yujun beside her said, "How ugly can it be? It must be because my husband saw the opportunity given by God, so he stopped."
Wei Yujun's vision is indeed good. She and Jiang Qingyue work together was indeed a match made by nature. Liu Peng couldn't help but laugh: "It's not a god-given opportunity. I just feel a little bit about seeing that my name was finally left in history."
Jiang Qingyue was a little surprised: "The name of Liu Peng's brother in these seven major hatred edicts?"
"Yes, it's a pity..."
Liu Peng read out the part of the seven major hatred edicts about himself: "There is Liu Peng, the magistrate of Zhaoyuan County, Dengzhou, who killed me for no reason and robbed me of wealth and goods. This hatred is the three... "
In any case, after submitting Nurhaci's seven hatred edicts, Liu Peng left his name in history. However, although he was famous in history, his weight was a bit insufficient. He just added something to the third hatred of the seven hatred.
But for Liu Peng, this was already satisfied, which shows that the last time he collected millions of dollars was very effective. Until now, Nurhaci remembered his name and even mentioned himself specifically in the Seven Great Hate Edicts.
However, Nurhaci didn't list Liu Peng separately, so he was still a little embarrassed, so Liu Peng decided to treat the old slave well to help him strengthen his memory: "Sister Qingyue, in the future, it will still be up to your patrol team to deal with the old slave!"
"No problem!" Wei Yujun directly followed the topic: "The patrol team can cross the sea north at any time. The key is to see how the Jurchens are making a fuss. It's not yet!"
Since the Battle of Fushun Fort, the Jurchen army has been resting for more than a month and has not made any major moves, but everyone knows that this is just a prelude to the war.
Before the war came, there would definitely be such a calm period, and Wei Yujun also knew that it was far from the best time for Liu Peng to intervene in the Liaodong war.
Of course, the reason why she made such a judgment was that she felt that Liu Peng had a destiny!
Although she did not agree with Liu Peng's view in strategic judgment, she just felt that Liu Peng had a destiny. Although Nurhaci was named Tianming, the real destiny was in Liu Peng.
If Nurhaci hadn't made such a fuss, Wei Yujun felt that the situation would not end at all. Liu Peng would have ended up as a traitor. However, the Jurchens raised their troops in Liaodong with the seven major hatreds, and Liu Peng's actions would have become insignificant. Whether it is the provincial government or the local prefectures, the prefectures and counties, they are now trying every means to coax Liu Peng, just asking him not to make trouble.
Liaodong is already decayed. If Liu Peng makes trouble in Shandong again, the situation will not be able to be cured!
The drastic changes in the situation made Wei Yujun completely stunned. She had to admit that Liu Peng had a destiny, and Nurhaci must be the pioneer of the king. Her current worry is how big the Jurchens will make a fuss and how long will it take?
If the Jin Kingdom is not successful and is destroyed by the Ming Kingdom within one or two years, then there will be little time left for Liu Peng. But no matter what, it is not the time for the patrol team to directly intervene in Liaodong. Jiang Qingyue also agreed with this judgment: "The changes in the battle situation in Liaodong are not accurate now, at least this year we are not suitable to cross the sea and advance north... If next year, we cannot say it!"
