In the battle of Tongzhou, the Ming army won a great victory. Nearly 30,000 pirates and Japanese pirates landed near Haimen were defeated in one fell swoop. The bandit leader Li Baldou was also captured by the Zhejiang direct inspector Hu Zongxian.

This battle can be said to be the biggest victory since the Ming Dynasty started a war with the Japanese pirates. In the past, not to mention 30,000 pirates and Japanese pirates, even 30,000 pirates and the Ming army of Japanese pirates had never won.

Yang Cong led his army to such a great victory, so he should have submitted a report to the court immediately to report the merits and rewards, but he did not do so because he wanted to take this opportunity to overthrow Yan Song and the maritime merchants in order to completely solve the problems of pirates and Japanese pirates.

The next morning, the operation to hunt down Japanese pirates and pirates continued. Tens of thousands of Ming army guards were divided into hundreds of twelve teams according to the Yuanyang formation to chase and flee everywhere. The entire Tongzhou area was full of shouts and killing, and it was very lively.

At this time, the Ming army camp dozens of miles northwest of Tongzhou City was extremely calm. Except for the occasional groans of pirates and Japanese prisoners, there was almost no other sound.

When the war ended, not only did the soldiers of the Shenji Camp besieged, but Yang Cong was also tired. If it weren't for the tight time, he would have wanted to take a little longer.

At this moment, the commander's tent was full of civil servants and military generals. After listening carefully to the battle report, Yang Cong said loudly to the outside of the tent: "Lee Li Ballow."

Now, the most important thing is to interrogate the bandit leader Li Baldy and find out the evidence that Yan Song had affair with Japanese pirates. At this moment, the capital must not know that he had won, and he was just to catch Yan Song off guard.

Soon, Li Bald, who was tied up in with two Jinyiwei, was dragged in by two Jinyiwei and kneeled down in front of Yang Cong.

This guy is worthy of being the pirate leader. When he reached such a point, his face was still full of fierceness and no expression of fear.

Yang Cong stared at him for a while, then asked coldly: "Li Baldhead, do you know your guilt?"

So what if you know the crime, so what if you don’t know the crime? Not just after death. Li Baldhead said calmly: “Since I have fallen into your hands, I have no hope of living. If you want to kill or cut, I will listen to the emperor.”

This guy was just right, Yang Cong was too lazy to beat around the bush. He asked directly: "If you want to come here, you still want to stay in the imperial prison for a while."

Isn't this nonsense? Of course I want to have some fun.

Li Baldou said impatiently: "I have said that if you want to kill and cut, you will be punished by the emperor. What kind of imperial edict is not imperial edict? Who are you scaring?"

Dizzy, this guy is so brave, he is not even afraid of the imperial prison.

Of course, he might be pretending.

Yang Cong thought for a while and simply asked, "You must have been sent to Nanzhili after being instructed, right? I will give you some fun by telling you the person you instructed."

Li Baldou didn't think about it, and gritted his teeth and said, "I think it's so big a matter. It's okay to tell you. I just came to this ghost place after listening to the evil words of Tu Dahai, the second master of the Tu family in Ningbo, and he is it? This grandson actually dares to lie to me. If I don't die this time, I will definitely make this grandson live and die."

Damn, it's so refreshing!

When Yang Cong heard this, he was stunned. He thought he had to move the board to let this guy confess, but he never thought that before he could use his methods, this guy confessed.

He really doesn't know who Tu Dahai is, but he knows that the leader of the Tu family's generation is Tu Dashan, who is now serving as a deputy to the Ministry of Justice in Nanjing.

It seems that this guy is not lying. The Ningbo Tu family should be the Ningbo Tu family who invaded Tongzhou this time.

However, his purpose is not only to destroy the Ningbo Tu family, but to destroy Yan Song.

Yang Cong thought for a while, then induced: "Why did you listen to the Ningbo Tu family? Didn't Yan Song, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, say anything to you?"

Li Baldou said impatiently: "What kind of cabinet Grand Secretary Yan Song? I don't know you, I know Tu Dahai. This guy has been working with me for many years. How did I know that he would lie to me? Don't mess with me. It's your business that you officials want to fight with me, and I'm too lazy to mess with you."

What should I do if this guy doesn't make it on the road?

Yang Cong really wanted to order someone to drag this guy out and hit the 20-plate board, and then kill him well, but he still gave up after thinking about it.

This guy looked like a piece of hob meat, and it was probably useless to hit the board. Moreover, even if he forced him to confess, it seemed that it was useless, because Yan Song's confidant did not directly participate in it this time.

Only then did he realize that he had thought things too simply. It seemed that it was not so easy to defeat Yan Song. With Yan Song's ability, he probably would have a way to shirk as long as he was not arrested on the spot.

So, what should I do next?

Yang Cong thought about it carefully, and simply waved his hand to ask everyone to withdraw from the handsome tent, and then covered his head and wrote the memorial.

This time, he did not let the Jinyiwei deliver it to Lu Bing through a secret channel and then hand it over to Jiajing, because Lu Bing had warned him, Jiajing was very disgusted with this method. This time he went through a formal channel and directly ordered people to 800 miles to speed up and send his memorial to Tongzhengsi.

Of course he knew that Zhao Wenhua, the right senator of Tongzheng, was Yan Song's confidant. The memorial he submitted must not escape Yan Song's eyes. He wanted Yan Song to know the content of the memorial. Since he could not punish others this time, it would be a headache for others.

Li Baldy gathered nearly 30,000 pirates and Japanese pirates to plunder Nanzhili. This matter was indeed arranged by Yan Song. However, this time Yan Song learned his lesson, and he did not send his confidants to contact Li Baldy, but asked Ningbo Tushi to take action.

He also knew that Yang Cong was trying to use the Japanese pirates to deal with him, so he naturally would not leave any handle for Yang Cong.

In his opinion, Yang Cong will definitely fall into a big fight this time. Then he will think of a way to give Jiajing a few words of slander, and Yang Cong will probably be finished.

Unexpectedly, he miscalculated again this time. After Yang Cong's memorial was passed to the Tongzhengsi, Zhao Wenhua naturally took it secretly. This time, Zhao Wenhua was stunned.

Yang Cong actually defeated the pirates and Japanese pirates gathered by Li Balou in one fell swoop, and even Li Balou was caught by this guy!

Moreover, Li Baldon also explained later that this time the wealthy maritime merchants asked him to go to Nanzhili to rob him!

What's even more terrifying is that Yang Cong actually asked Jiajing for an order to arrest the Xie family of Yuyao, the Tu family of Ningbo, the Lin family of Zhangpu, and the Chen family of Longxi, and torture them strictly, asking these people to explain the whereabouts of the pirates and the Japanese pirates, in order to capture all the pirates and the Japanese pirates in one place!

This guy is trying to make a fuss!

After so many years of Jiajing Dynasty, who dares to attack the four major maritime merchants? This guy is so good that he actually wants to capture all maritime merchants!

Zhao Wenhua is the son-in-law of the Xie family in Yuyao. According to Yang Cong, wouldn’t he even arrest him?

He was really frightened. What should the emperor do if he wanted to believe Yang Cong's "slander"? He really killed the maritime merchants?

At this time, he really wanted to tear Yang Cong's memorial to pieces so as not to be passed to Jiajing.

However, he did not dare to do this because there were strict records in the collection and sorting of memorials. If he dared to destroy the memorials, they would be found out soon. And even if he destroyed the memorials, it would be useless. Yang Cong could continue to report the memorials. He could only go to Yan Song and ask his godfather to take action to help the maritime merchants overcome this crisis.
