Chapter 99 Loyalty!(1/2)
Hangzhou.
Zhejiang Capital Command and Envoy Department.
"People in Hangzhou, how are you? I am Yang Feng, Ambassador of Daxia!"
Yang Feng waved his hand and shouted like an 18th-tier star under the spotlight.
Behind him were six donkey carts. The six people from Zhao Jianji were all tied up. There was a sign on the back that said "Japanese Jianji" so and so. They were twisting like insects. The cavalry following him were whipped with riding whips from time to time.
Tell them to be honest. Then their screams rang out in the noisy streets. Onlookers on both sides pointed at them, and some angrily threw all kinds of messes at them.
Want to see Zhu Yuanzhang’s excitement!
Then there will be a big fuss.
So Ambassador Yang directly brought six people from Zhao Jianji to Hangzhou to declare his betrayal.
He is a foreign envoy and has no right to interfere with the justice of the Ming Dynasty. However, as an envoy of a friendly country, if he discovers that someone in the Ming Dynasty is collaborating with the enemy and treason, it is reasonable to report it to the nearest government...
"Be brave, you are a loyal minister, remember, loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely disloyal!
loyalty!"
Then Yang Feng encouraged Dai Gui.
And he even raised his fist to encourage the latter.
"Do I have a way out?"
Dai Gui said angrily.
It was obvious that he was in a very bad mood.
The person Zhao Jianji confessed was not only Jinwu vanguard Qianhu Liu Bin, but also a commanding officer of Dinghaiwei. The latter was responsible for delivering a batch of new firearms to the Japanese pirates. The specific plan was for the Japanese pirates to invade Zhoushan and then he would go out of the city to fight in Zhoushan.
After the war failed, they retreated into the city, but all the rapid-fire cannons and three-eyed muskets they brought out were lost to the Japanese pirates.
Although this was all Zhao Jianji could know, Dai Gui could already confirm that this was not simply an exchange of money.
No matter Liu Bin or the commander, there was no need to do such a thing just for some money.
These are all senior generals.
How much benefit can the Japanese pirates give them to do such things as confiscate their homes and exterminate their clans?
There are people above them.
But……
What does this have to do with him?
He is a military commander who does his duty and kills enemies honestly and makes meritorious deeds. He doesn’t want to get involved in this kind of high-level struggle! The goal of these people must be to kill Yang Feng, and Yang Feng is difficult to kill, especially with the powerful firearms in his hands.
Then there must be enough firearms, and there must be elite soldiers. Then there is a battlefield that can be launched, then the Japanese pirates are undoubtedly the best choice. If the Japanese pirates do not have firearms, give them firearms. If the Japanese pirates lack combat effectiveness, then give them combat effectiveness.
Strong.
Finally completed the murder with a borrowed knife.
But what was the purpose of killing Yang Feng? Was he simply a person who made people hate him?
no!
It was because as soon as he came, he changed His Majesty the Emperor's decision. They hated Yang Feng because they were actually dissatisfied with the Emperor but did not dare to say it clearly. They killed Yang Feng to let the Emperor know that they would resist and stop forcing them.
But now Dai Gui really has no other choice.
Just like what Yang Feng said, if loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely disloyal. As a loyal minister of the emperor, you must do what you should do when encountering this kind of thing. Afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang's mind was that at most he felt that he was simple-minded and reckless, and he was a useless person.
He is a simple martial artist who has a colorful intestine and does things as he should.
But, be loyal!
This is the most important!
The more such a person is, the more worthy of the emperor's liking.
Dai Gui, a simple martial artist who was anything but innocent, took a deep breath and walked proudly to the front door.
At the same time, several generals wearing red official uniforms walked out of the gate. The first one even wore a gift uniform. He looked at Dai Gui doubtfully, and Dai Gui quickly stepped forward to salute...
"The last general who left behind the right guard and commanded the Qianshi Dai Gui has met Anluhou!"
he said.
"Why did you come here if you weren't following Yang Wen?"
Cifu said.
This is Wu Jie, Marquis of Anlu.
His father Wu Fu, the founding father of Zhu Yuanzhang, later died of illness in Yunnan. However, Wu Jie was not as brave as his father. Among the second generation, he can only be said to be mediocre. Later, he also participated in the Battle of Baigou. He was ordered to guard Hangzhou. Yes, in the early Ming Dynasty, the position of Commander-in-Chief was not permanent, and important places were guarded by generals of this level. However, as the vassal kings grew up, wherever there was a vassal king, the vassal king became the de facto guarding general.
After all, my son is more trustworthy than Xun Gui.
But there is no vassal king in Zhejiang, so now that the Japanese pirates are harassing them, they can only let the generals guard them.
As for Yang Wen, he was in charge of the coast, that is, the garrison posts and naval forces along the coast were under the command of Yang Wen, but the scope was not limited to Zhejiang, but also included Zhili. The other garrison posts in Zhejiang, with Hangzhou as the core, were commanded by Wu Jie.
In the original history, he was actually the deputy, and Wei Guogong Xu Huizu was the chief.
But now Xu Huizu is still in Taiyuan.
"Reporting to the Marquis of Anlu, I have been ordered to protect the Ambassador of Great Xia and followed Ambassador Yang to travel along the coast to this point!"
Dai Gui said.
Wu Jie and the generals behind him looked at Yang Feng.
Yang Feng raised his hand to say hello in a friendly manner.
“It’s hard work for the ambassador to come from afar!”
Wu Jie said perfunctorily, holding up his hands.
"Marquis Anlu, I have the permission of the emperor of your country to travel around the country. Recently, I traveled along the coast of Zhejiang, and unintentionally solved a major Japanese case for your country. The six people behind me are from Zhoushan, and they are related to Ningbo maritime merchants. In the Qing Dynasty, fifty-two men were lured from the Seventh Regiment of Xucun Salt Field to surrender to Japanese pirates in Sizhou Pond. Commander Dai recognized one of them as Xiaoqi Hafu of Dongsheng Guard. I think this matter is related to the Ming Dynasty. The safety of the people of Zhejiang was in danger, so they and Commander Dai captured these six people. According to their confession, Xu Gui, the commander of Dinghaiwei, conspired with them to take advantage of the Japanese pirates' attack on Zhoushan and send a large number of new firearms to the Japanese pirates.
The matter is of great importance, and I dare not delay.
Therefore, I sent it to Hangzhou nearby and asked Marquis Anlu to inform the emperor of your country immediately to avoid causing greater disaster."
Yang Feng said.
"Reporting to Marquis Anlu, that's exactly what happened."
Dai Gui said quickly.
"Marquis Anlu, Marquis Anlu, they framed me. I never said this. They thought I was a slutty person and wanted to extort money. If I refused, they framed me!"
Zhao Jianji suddenly struggled and shouted.
"Well?"
Yang Feng turned to look at him in astonishment, then turned back and looked at Wu Jie with interest.
"Hmph, could it be that Ambassador Yang and Commander Dai are going to falsely accuse you of a lowly person? Take them into custody. Don't worry, Ambassador. Wu will expedite five hundred miles to inform His Majesty!"
Wu Jie said with a smile.
Yang Feng also laughed.
Then he raised the hand with the watch on it...
Zhao Jianji's voice immediately sounded.
"Luckily I have a recording!"
Yang Feng said with a smile.
Zhao Jianji felt as if he had seen a ghost, looking at the sound coming from his wrist. Wu Jie's eyes immediately became profound, and the onlookers were in a state of excitement. Everyone was talking about Yang Feng and the sound coming from his wrist. Yang Feng looked at Wu Jie. Wu Jie frowned, and finally looked helplessly at a man in red robe behind him.
"Immediately order Haiwei to arrest Xu Gui!"
he said.
Then he looked at Zhao Jianji again.
"Ambassador, if the ambassador is free, please ask the ambassador to send them to Beijing in person!
I am busy with military affairs and it is not convenient to receive you."
he said.
After saying that, he walked directly back to the Yamen.
"Then I'll reluctantly go there, but Hafu still has a few of his accomplices at Pingwangyi."
Yang Feng said from behind.
"That place is not under the jurisdiction of Zhejiang. Just take it when the ambassador passes by!"
Wu Jie said without looking back.
Then the other red robes followed and walked in, leaving only Yang Feng and Dai Gui outside. Yang Feng turned around and looked at Zhao Jianji. The latter was dumbfounded and stood there as if he had lost his soul. Yang Feng stretched out his hand and
