The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

Yan Song said sharply: "You are the Daming frontier army, responsible for protecting Daming and resisting Mongolia. Your allegiance is only Daming, only the emperor, not Yan Song! This must be clarified."

Your sister's army, in front of Bao Heizi, the censor, said she was loyal to me, Yan Song, because she was afraid that I would not die soon enough?

Hearing Yan Song's stern reprimand, Ma Sanduo and the Bian Jun renewed their oath: "We will definitely be loyal to Daming! Wrapped in horse leather!"

Yan Song nodded in satisfaction and looked at Bao Zheng.

Bao Zheng's complexion returned to normal.

The army can only be loyal to the emperor, and it is absolutely taboo to be loyal to anyone else.

The two sides re-divided the seats of the guests and the hosts, but the atmosphere was quite different.

Ma Sanduo and Bian Jun were not too affectionate with Yan Song.

Yan Song said seriously: "Let's talk about business. How did the mysterious man come to your Ansai Fort, and how did he trick you into attacking the Mongolian caravan?"

Ma Sanduo said dejectedly: "It's all because of my carelessness. This person claims to be a Shanxi merchant on the frontier. He often travels between Mongolia and Ming Dynasty, and he is well-informed. Every time he comes, he will drive a large herd of cattle and sheep to give tooth sacrifices to his brothers. Elder Ge also knows that my Ansai Fort is bitterly cold, and the frontier army is poor, and even the military salary cannot be paid on time. This meat is even rarer."

Yan Song nodded.

At this time, the Daming Frontier Army is indeed the most miserable group of people, and it is up to them to find ways to improve their lives in the future.

Ma Sanduo continued: "This man is very eloquent and knows how to read words and deeds. He will help the soldiers with everything from lack of medical care to family difficulties. According to him, he is a patriotic businessman. Life in the frontier army is so difficult, and I am so angry that I will spare no effort to help us."

"Alas. Pie is falling from the sky." Bao Zheng shook his head and said.

"Later, the relationship between him and the soldiers became fierce. As soon as he came, the soldiers gathered around to listen to his news and preaching. Gradually, the officers also entered the water, and they had a very good relationship with him." Ma Sanduo said dejectedly: "At first I was restrained, but later I was also bewitched by him and listened to his preaching all day long."

"What is he preaching?" Bao Zheng asked sharply.Apparently this person was behind the killing of the Mongolian caravan.

"Actually, what he preached was about how the people of Ming Dynasty were ravaged by Mongolian iron cavalry. Today this border village will be slaughtered, and tomorrow that city will be destroyed." Ma Sanduo said with a helpless wry smile: "What he said is in line with our frontier army's ideals. Taste, especially when this person preached that he was not polite to the Mongols, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, and massacres to retaliate against the Mongolian Dacaogu, which made our blood boil when we stunned."

Yan Song and Bao Zheng looked at each other.

This person is not simple.

Using the fanatical patriotism of the frontier army to provoke the massacre of the Mongols, and then create a big war.

"Then, was this person instigating the incident in the Wild Wolf Valley this time?" Bao Zheng felt as if he was deciding the case.

"That's right!" Ma Sanduo said, with a look of grief and indignation on his face, he brought the cattle and sheep to the barracks that day, and told everyone the news that Daming was about to pay tribute to Mongolia...

"Professing ministers and paying tribute?" Yan Song blinked: "How can such a thing happen?"

Ma Sanduo was stunned, and said in a stunned voice, "This man also said that it was Mr. Yan Ge who betrayed the country behind his back and signed this unequal treaty with the Mongols. I am so angry."

Bao Zheng sighed: "This person is completely using the frontier army to be far away at the border. It is very closed and the news cannot be delivered. He deceived you! Mr. Yan Ge was in Tianjin just now, and he punished the Mongols to death, and expelled them. With our country’s prestige, how can Daming be made a vassal and pay tribute?”

Ma Sanduo smiled wryly and said, "If I had known the truth earlier, I would not have taken people to slaughter the Mongolian caravan. I have realized something was wrong these days, but it was too late to make a big mistake."

"Where is this person?"

"Never come again." Ma Sanduo said with a wry smile, "It is usually he who drives cattle and sheep to us on his own initiative. I don't know where he lives. I'm afraid his identity is also false."

"Yeah." Bao Zheng nodded: "This matter is not easy to handle."

Yan Song and Bao Zheng exchanged glances.

The matter is serious and the case is complicated.

There are conspirators who use the blind patriotism of the Ming frontier army to create conflicts between the two countries and try to fish in troubled waters.

"The clues will be cut off here. There is nothing I can do." Bao Zheng frowned and smiled bitterly: "This person comes and goes without a trace. The world is so big, where can I find him?"

"I have a solution to 3.1." Yan Song smiled slightly and said, "I guarantee that this person will fall into the trap!"

"Ah? Throw yourself into a trap?" Everyone was surprised.

Bao Heizi had a look of disbelief: "Old Yange, you are just bragging. Since that person has already succeeded in provoking him, he is afraid that he will run away early. How could he fall into the trap of himself?"

"No!" Yan Song said with a smile: "As long as you know the identity of this person, and then deduce it, you will know that he must be not far away, and he is still watching the movement of this Fort Ansai! When the time is right, he will return back."

Yan Song smiled indifferently, and said to Ma Sanduo: "General Ma, I want you to cooperate with me and put on a good show! It's just Mr. Bao, you will be wronged."

Bao Zheng nodded, impassioned: "As long as you can catch this person, it's okay to be wronged!"

Chapter 666 Leading the snake out of the hole [3]

Ten miles outside Ansai Castle, on a mountain.

The mysterious man was leisurely and contented, with his legs crossed, under the shade of a big tree, watching the movement of Fort Ansai.

Yan Song and Bao Zheng had already led people in for a while, but they didn't come out.

"Hehe~~" The corner of the mysterious man's mouth curled up slightly, and he sneered: "Luck is here, God can't stop it! Unexpectedly, this time I was given such a chance to catch such a big fish! The chief assistant of the cabinet, Yan Song, Zuodu Yushi Bao Zheng, haha, is about to fall into my hands."

The mysterious man thought that he had a thorough understanding of the psychology of the frontier army.

He, Wu Yi, was sent by the great army strategist Han Han to carry out the mission.Originally, he was also a Shanxi merchant, but he illegally smuggled ironware to Bansheng and was caught by the Ming army, causing his family to be destroyed. He hated Daming deeply, so he escaped from Daming and joined Han Han.

The task Han Han gave Wu Yi was to lurk on the border between Daming and Mongolia, waiting for an opportunity.

Wu Yi did not disappoint Han Han either. He pretended to be a Shanxi merchant, and fought fiercely with the frontier troops of several fortresses such as 15 and Ansaibao.Those bitter frontier soldiers, simple-minded, were moved by the kindness of cattle, sheep and silver from his "Daming Merchant", and trusted him immensely.

This time Han Han wanted to provoke the two countries to go to war, so he chose Wu Yi to carry out the final mission.Wu Yi cleverly instigated the frontier army of Ansaibao to attack, killed the Mongolian caravan, and created the crisis of the war between the two countries.
