Chapter 409
In later generations, the cop would shout when catching a prisoner: "Police, raise your hands!"

New York cops would yell, "NYPD!"

Hong Kong Tiaozi will shout: "Police!"

Indian cops will yell: "Priyanka Chopra!". This is bullshit.

In short, it is very necessary for Tiaozi to announce his identity loudly when facing the prisoner.The first is to deter prisoners, and the second is to screen out melon-eaters who may hinder the execution of official duties.

This principle was also valid in the seventeenth century.

As a hereditary Suzhou Jinyiwei Baihu, Ma Yaotang has of course performed official duties, so he is very proficient in using this process.

In this era, those who can work with hundreds of adults in person will definitely not be punks.Generally speaking, Ma Baihu arrests criminals of civil and military officials and wealthy businessmen.

Such a criminal must be surrounded by a large number of followers, soldiers, guards and cronies.A few fans in the district can catch people only by relying on the authority endowed by the system.So at this time, it is very important to reveal your identity first.

Ma Baihu is the same today.As he stepped forward holding the Jinyiwei waist badge, he had already called out his name.

The following preset process is very easy and pleasant.Ma Baihu would catch the criminal among the trembling guards, and then lead them away.

During this process, the group of people who were intimidated by Jinyiwei's great reputation would not resist at all, for fear that they would also be implicated in the Jinyiwei prison that made people look pale.

Therefore, Ma Baihu, who seemed to be full of majesty, had already begun to calculate the "harvest" of this errand in his heart at this moment - in addition to the benefits promised by the master of the Xu family, this Xiong Dao himself was said to be a well-known wealthy businessman, After catching this guy and going back, I think he can get a lot of money.

While Ma Baihu was concentrating on walking the process proficiently, a loud "bang" rang in his ears.This sound startled Lord Baihu to stagger, and completely deafened his ears.

But when Ma Baihu, who was full of surprise, looked back, he found that all the people brought by his family had their arms cut behind their backs, and they were kneeling on the ground.

And the loud bang just now was caused by the short-breasted guards standing on both sides, and at the same time, they aimed their guns at the empty guns fired above Jin Yiwei's head.

Ma Baihu, who was dizzy and his ears were buzzing, was also kicked in the crook of his leg the next moment, and the black gauze soft hat on his head was knocked off along the way, turning him into a prisoner with disheveled hair.

"Bold! Dare to besiege the emperor's personal guard, the imperial court official, surnamed Xiong, aren't you afraid of killing everyone?!"

After shaking his head to figure out the situation, although Ma Baihu was forced to kneel and kowtow, he was not afraid at this moment, instead he flew into a rage and asked sharply.

"Haha." Xiong Dao, who stood on the steps and watched the show for a long time, first waved at this moment.

Then someone brought out two nanmu official hat chairs, and Master Xiong and the bald monk sat comfortably on the chairs, assuming a posture of being promoted to the court for trial.

After the cigarette was lit by the attendant with a "snap", Master Xiong took a beautiful puff first, hid his face in the smoke, and then said cheerfully: "Ma Yaotang, before you came from Suzhou this morning to die, Didn't you ask me where I am?"

At this moment, Ma Baihu finally felt something was wrong: not only was Xiong Dao and his subordinates not afraid of the authority, but they were clearly prepared for his coming.

So Ma Yaotang stopped struggling and cursing at this moment, and opened his mouth to ask: "I don't know what's weird about this place?"

"Haha." Xiong Dao shook his head again and again, with regret on his face: "At first glance, he is not well-known, and he doesn't know that he was sold out. He is still an idiot, and he knows how to spend all day drinking flower wine in Suzhou City, right? "

Ma Yaotang's heart trembled at this moment: Xiong Dao's two words really hit his point.

Today's errand was indeed urgently ordered by Lord Qianhu last night.In addition, Ma Yaotang, a hereditary wealthy N generation from Suzhou, spends most of his weekdays feasting and having fun, and he really doesn't care much about what happens in rural areas hundreds of miles away.

Seeing Ma Baihu's complexion change, Xiong Dao sitting on the stage sighed again at this moment, then looked at the monk beside him, nodded at the same time, and waved his hand: "Take them out and kill them, leave two Just go back and report."

Ma Baihu, who hadn't figured out what kind of trap he had fallen into, suddenly realized at this moment that he and his subordinates were about to be slaughtered?
However, the reality is so cruel. After two "bang bang" shots, the two fans who fell behind were pushed to the gate of the compound and ate the guns.

Ma Baihu, who couldn't believe it, was terrified.At this moment, he was so blessed, and in the ensuing gunshots and blood, he instantly thought through many things.

For example, why did Mr. Qianhu, who is not used to deal with him, give him such a fat job; for example, why the local Zhangyin Baihu in Jiading County had a "foot disease" recently, so he couldn't take this job.

However, it was useless to figure everything out. When Ma Baihu found that he was being dragged to the gate of the courtyard, he couldn't help struggling violently.He stayed on the ground and yelled: "Xiong, killing Jin Yiwei is a serious crime of treason. I am a sixth-rank hundred household who is given to wear flying fish clothes. You can't kill me, you can't kill me!"

"Hehe, if I don't kill you, how can Mr. Xu label me a traitor?" Xiong Dao looked at the only high-ranking man in the flying fish suit on the field: "I just want to kill someone who is enough to kill me." Good to be a traitor!"

Ma Baihu was beaten to death like a chicken in front of the port office.The gorgeous flying fish suit on his body didn't save him from his stupid fate.

From another point of view, Ma Baihu's death is still more serious than Mount Tai.This death gave the already red-eyed Land Deed Alliance an excuse and began to promote the follow-up troop deployment plan.

In other words, if you really want to mobilize troops, in the increasingly chaotic situation in the late Ming Dynasty, there are still many loopholes for the Land Deed Alliance to take advantage of.

First of all, as soon as Ma Baihu was confirmed to have been shot dead, Suzhou Jinyiwei Qianhu Office dispatched Kuaiqi to kill Jinyiwei Baihu in public with the "hair thief Xiong Dao". The official documents of the suppression went to Yingtian (Nanjing).

Kuaiqi drove all night, and arrived at the Commander's Yamen of Jinyiwei Capital in Nanjing from Suzhou the next morning.

Prior to this, the Land Deed Alliance accurately judged that Xiong Dao would not be taken away by Jin Yiwei, and the two sides would inevitably clash.So even if Ma Baihu went to the port and survived, several of his subordinates would be killed by the masters afterwards, and then Xiong Dao would definitely be labeled as "killing officials and rebelling".

In this way, all relevant parties can send people to do the work in advance.So long before Ma Baihu went to Zhangsu Port to die, the envoys sent by the Land Deed Alliance to all parties were already on their way.

And at this time, the messengers who had been dispatched earlier had already secured the key figures in the Jinyiwei yamen, and now they were waiting for this official document to arrive.

Since Nanjing is the capital, Jinyiwei is rather powerful: there are six officials and nobles far more than other provinces, and the guarding eunuchs and Jinyiwei who are responsible for monitoring all officials for the emperor have real power.

Afterwards, the on-duty commander Tongzhi received the official document without any delay, and after marking it with his opinion of agreeing to "suppress the thieves", the official document came to Yingtian Governor's Yamen at lightning speed.

As mentioned earlier, the Xu family's backer in the court is Xu Bengao, the commander of Jin Yiwei.Although Xu Bengao's command envoy is a false title and is not responsible for sitting in the hall, but because he is valued by Chongzhen, Xu Bengao has begun to transfer to the Five Army Commander's Mansion in recent years and has become a high-ranking figure in the military.

Under such circumstances, Xu Bengao, who was originally a hereditary Jinyiwei with a thousand households, has extremely deep roots and connections in the Jinyiwei system.So including sending Ma Baihu to death, including Nanjing's cooperation in issuing official documents, this series of actions used the real hard power of the Xu family.

After Yingtian Governor's Yamen received the official document, things became easier. Both the Land Deed Alliance and the Governor's Yamen were from the same line of civil servants, and the lobbyists who arrived early and the officials of the Fuya's office drank tea and got things done.

Why is it an official?Because the boss is not there, the boss went to work for the king.

The governor of Yingtian at this point in time is Cao Wenheng from Henan.

After taking office, this person not only immediately commanded troops to wipe out all the bandits in Jurong, Nanjing, but also sent troops next year to wipe out the remnants of Japanese pirates entrenched in Chongming Island and the mouth of the Yangtze River.

Coincidentally, not long ago, Cao Futai, who received the emergency document from the capital, immediately led the troops and set off to serve the king along the canal north.

So here is a big loophole that can be exploited: the left-behind subordinates of the governor's yamen can lightly write on this official document agreeing with the "suppression of thieves", and then "smoothly" transfer the official document to the place where it should go. Theoretically This is ultra vires, but in the current vacuum period, the subordinate officials have a lot of excuses to shirk afterwards.

So where did this official document end up?Jinshanwei.

As for what army to use to deal with Xiong Dao, the Land Deed Alliance also took a lot of thought.

First of all, since the [-] elite lake bandits were all slaughtered by Xiong Dao as if they were chickens, the ordinary guard soldiers didn't even need to think about it. This kind is not even as good as chickens, it's purely chicken feed.

Secondly, the most elite strategic troops, such as town bidders and bidders, cannot be adjusted by the Land Deed Alliance—these are all strategic troops, and there is no personal order from the governor and the chief soldier, and they cannot be fooled by official documents.

Therefore, it can be mobilized and its combat effectiveness is not bad. Right now it is the battalion stationed in Jinshanwei.

Jinshanwei is at the mouth of Hangzhou Bay, not only a guard, but also the residence of the generals of Hangjiahu.

During the Jiajing period, due to the Japanese riots, the imperial court set up a general army in Zhejiang, and at the same time set up four generals, including Hangjiahu General and Ningshao General.

Later, after the Japanese Insurgency subsided, the Zhejiang General Army was also cancelled, and these sub-garrison generals were retained.

Therefore, what the Land Deed Alliance mobilized this time was the battalion soldiers in the hands of the generals of Hangjiahu.To be precise, they are the general's subordinates, the soldiers and horses under Wang Deqiao's army training guerrilla.
