Ming Dynasty: A mere unruly commoner is rebelling against the heaven?

Chapter 148: The border town is involved in smuggling, report to His Majesty immediately!
Jinzhou.

Within Taiyuan Prefecture.

Wang Yao and other members of the Wang family were on their way back to Puzhou from Xuanfu.

There were already several empty donkey carts behind them.

There was only a donkey cart covered with thick grain and fodder.

Below these food and fodder was the silver they earned from their trip to Xuanfu.

A total of seven hundred and thirty taels of silver.

They can do this kind of smuggling business five or six times a year.

Every year, they could obtain three to four thousand taels of silver from Xuanfu.

This is a huge sum of money!
In the whole Jinzhou, there are not many Shanxi merchants who can compare with him.

"Master Wang, I really want to return to Puzhou as soon as possible! The master will definitely be very happy to see that you brought back so much silver."

A guard from the Wang family came up to Wang Yao and flattered her for no apparent reason.

Wang Yao patted the man on the head: "Don't try that on me!"

"Everyone, pay attention and keep an eye on everything!"

"Yes, Master!"

"Don't worry, young master. We have escorted this route dozens of times. We have seen all kinds of storms and waves."

"Trust us, nothing will go wrong this time!"

The twenty or so guards surrounding the donkey cart responded loudly.

They are the Wang family's confidants who have been trained since childhood. Needless to say, they are loyal and their skills are first-class.

And because they were in the arms smuggling business, everyone carried a sword.

It’s just that the knife is hidden inside the clothes and cannot be seen from the outside.

Just as the Wang family was talking, suddenly hundreds of riders rushed out from the front, with cold knives in their hands, and rushed towards them.

This scene happened too suddenly, and no one from the Wang family present could react.

By the time they knew to draw their swords to meet the enemy, hundreds of Jinyiwei led by Baihu were already within reach.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Draw your swords!"

"Oh my god! There are so many people! How can there be so many bandits? They are all riding horses!"

"What bandits? Look at the clothes they are wearing and the knives they are using. They are the Imperial Guards!"

"What?! Jinyiwei!"

"..."

The Wang family had only more than twenty guards, and none of them had horses, so they could only passively wait for the Jinyiwei to kill them.

The Wang family was already in a great disadvantage, and now they knew the identity of the opposing Jinyiwei.

A huge despair surrounded the Wang family, leaving many of them without even the courage to draw their swords.

In fact, it was right not to dare to draw the sword, because anyone who dared to draw the sword against the Jinyiwei would die.

Baihu led his team to rush into the Wang family's team. With a flash of the knife in his hand, a man who drew his knife against the Jinyiwei died.

His head was thrown high into the air, leaving a trail of blood in the air.

When the head fell to the ground, all the Wang family guards who had drawn their swords were already beheaded.

Only a few guards who had not drawn their swords and Wang Yao, the young master of the Wang family, were left watching all this with pale faces.

They all seemed to be stunned with fear, standing there in a daze, with no reaction other than the immediate loss of color on their faces.

As soon as Baihu tilted his head, the Jinyiwei immediately dismounted from their horses and tied up Wang Yao and others with ropes.

Baihu looked at the only donkey cart loaded with food and fodder, and his expression became a little solemn.

He walked forward, lifted the layer of grain on the surface, and found that underneath the grain was indeed a full cart of silver!

Baihu's face changed drastically. He grabbed the tied-up Wang Yao and pressed his head hard on the pile of silver!

"Where did all this silver come from? Tell me!"

The pain in his body stimulated Wang Yao, who woke up in shock and shouted, "Sir! All this money was earned by me, sir!"

"We are merchants from Puzhou. We earned all this money from our business!"

"Sir! If you like this silver, you can take it all. I only beg you to spare my life!"

Wang Yao didn't know anything that happened in Puzhou, nor did he know why these Jinyiwei killed most of their team as soon as they met.

The only thought in his mind now was to return to Puzhou alive.

Baihu's expression became even colder. According to Wang Ze, Wang Yao went to Xuanfu.

What kind of business could transport hundreds of taels of silver from Xuanfu in such a short time? !
The answer is self-evident.

Only smuggling can bring such huge profits, and in Xuanfu, the only targets that can be smuggled are the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty!

The white tiger pulled Wang Yao's head and slammed it hard against the cold silver, causing Wang Yao's head to be bleeding and his flesh to be blurred.

"What kind of business can earn so much money from Xuanfu in such a short time?!"

"Tell me! Are you smuggling?!"

“Who is involved in smuggling?!”

"What's the smuggled stuff?!"

"Who did you smuggle the stuff to?!"

"..."

Baihu asked a lot of questions at once. After hearing these questions, Wang Yao began to feel dizzy and her whole body was so weak that she had no strength at all.

"I...I didn't go to Xuanfu. I don't know what you are talking about..."

"All this money... is what I earned in Taiyuan Prefecture... What are you talking about... I don't understand..."

"You won't say it, right?"

Baihu picked up Wang Yao, who was as soft as a puddle of mud, and threw him to a Jinyiwei beside him.

"Hang him up and let him have a taste of the rod."

"Yes, Third Master!"

The Jinyiwei dragged Wang Yao to the wilderness and found a bare tree nearby.

After throwing one end of the rope over a trunk of a big tree, Wang Yao was successfully lifted up.

Then the Jinyiwei cut off a piece of tree trunk of suitable size and directly implemented the beating on him.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!!"

Suddenly, Wang Yao's shrill screams echoed throughout the world. Just like the torture his father Wang Ze had received before, it was inhumane.

After just two quarters of an hour, Wang Yao could no longer bear it.

"Ahhhh!!! I admit it! I admit it! I admit it! I admit everything!"

"Wooooooooooooooo!!! Get the things out! Get them out!"

"I confess! I really confess everything! Please, take the things out quickly!"

“Wuwuwu!! Kill me! Please! Kill me!”

"..."

Wang Yao persisted for a much shorter time than Wang Ze.

He cried bitterly, and his desire to die was no weaker than Wang Ze's.

Baihu waved his hand, and the Jinyiwei immediately stopped the execution and let Wang Yao go.

Wang Yao lay in a pool of blood, crying bitterly.

Baihu asked coldly: "Answer the questions I asked just now!"

“Who is involved in smuggling?!”

"What's the smuggled stuff?!"

"Who did you smuggle the stuff to?!"

Wang Yao cried and told everything at once.

"The smuggled goods include grain, tea, iron, silk, cold knives, armor, and muskets."

"The target of smuggling is the Tatar Grand Master Huoshai."

"Those involved in smuggling include the Wang family of Puzhou and the Zhang family of Puzhou."

"I'm done! Kill me now! Kill me now!!!"

After hearing what Wang Yao said, Baihu's face turned very ugly!
"Weapons, armor, and firearms. You Shanxi merchants can't possibly be able to smuggle these things!"

"Tell me! Who else is involved in smuggling?!"

"Is he the commander of Xuanfu?!"

Wang Yao was stunned. This time, he found that he had let the cat out of the bag and revealed the matter of weapons and firearms.

Wang Yao suddenly woke up and began to struggle violently.

Baihu thought to himself that something was wrong. He saw Wang Yao's body twitched violently twice and then he died!

Baihu's face looked extremely ugly. The border garrison generals would smuggle weapons, armor and even firearms to the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty through Shanxi merchants.

And the most important thing is that he didn't even find out who was involved in smuggling in Xuanfu!

This matter is too big, big enough to cause another bloody storm!
He must report this matter to His Majesty the Emperor immediately!

……

Go back a few days ago.

Just when Wang Yan, Yang Jizon and others entered Puzhou County to survey the land.

Thousands of miles away outside the city of Aksu, a fierce battle took place.

Xu Chang led 100,000 Ming troops to fight against the 50,000-strong Eastern Chagatai Khanate army led by Shaybani.

It is worth mentioning that this 50,000-strong army also includes the remnants of Yalan who belonged to Ahama Khan.

This was also a large army mobilized by the Eastern Chagatai Khanate with the whole country's strength.

However, Mahamu Khan was not as unscrupulous as Ahama Khan. He captured all the men in the city who could still ride on horses and made them soldiers.

Among these 50,000 troops, a large part are full-time standing troops, and the other part are part-time reserve troops, all of whom have received professional military training.

After Xu Chang led his army to within a hundred miles of Ak City, the scouts sent by Mahamu Khan to gather information reported the matter to Mahamu Khan.

Mahamu Khan immediately ordered the army in Aksu to march fifty miles out of the city to actively engage in battle against the Ming army.

Mahamu Khan appointed Shaybani as the commander of the front army, while he and Ahmad Khan stayed in the rear.

As the battle started, the shouts of both sides shook the sky, and the war quickly became intense.

But as time went on, the 30,000-man formation of trap soldiers with black armor and black horses, like a sharp sword, pierced into Shaybani's army again and again, constantly reaping the lives of the soldiers of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.

At the same time, every charge of the Xianzhen Camp was like a sharp sword piercing into the hearts of Mahamu Khan and Ahama Khan.

With Shaybani himself being beheaded by the Xianzhen Camp, the entire army of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate was defeated!
A large number of soldiers of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate fled in panic.

Behind them, the Ming army took advantage of the victory and pursued the deserters, killing them indiscriminately.

Covered in blood, Yalan ran hurriedly to Ahama Khan and Mahamu Khan with Said and some of his personal soldiers.

He shouted with a miserable look on his face: "Two Khans, we are defeated again! Run!"

"No! No! No!"

"My fifty thousand troops!"

"My General Xibani!"

"My Eastern Chagatai Khanate!"

"No!"

Mahamukhan could not accept such a great blow and roared in anger.

But Ahama Khan's mental state was much better than Mahamu Khan's.

"Brother, let's run!"

"If we don't run away, the Ming army will catch up with us!"

"By then, we won't be able to run away!"

After Ahama Khan finished speaking, he turned around and ran back with Yalan and his personal soldiers.

Mahamu Khan reacted and quickly chased after Ahama Khan with his personal soldiers.

"Ahem! It's all your fault!"

"Why did you want to provoke Daming?!"

"Why did you lead the Ming army towards me?!"

"Now all this is because of you!"

"Ahema! I will kill you!"
