After all, Jin Yiwei needs to use these powerful weapons to deal with the local targets, except for the Xu family, there will be no one else, and the risk of attacking the Xu family, and what kind of consequences it means, Jin Yiwei will not be unexpected.If Shi Biao knew the real purpose of Sun Baihu's acquisition of these weapons before the incident happened, he would probably be indifferent to Xu Yuxing's remarks.Xu Yuxing also wanted to use this method to judge whether Shi Biao knew the key inside information.
Shi Biao slowly raised his head, looked at Xu Yuxing and said, "There is civil strife in the Ming Dynasty? Is the world peaceful now?"
Hearing this tone, Xu Yuxing felt that this person should know some inside information, and immediately retorted: "The north has been in war for many years, and it is indeed not peaceful, but Fujian has a good government and people in recent years, and the coastal states are very prosperous. Isn't this true? The amount of taxes handed over to the imperial court, whether it is silver or grain, ranks among the top in the country, if Fujian is in chaos, will it be beneficial to Daming?"
Shi Biao shook his head slightly and said: "Fujian is stable on the surface, but it is not a peaceful and prosperous age. The government's government orders are not implemented, and local factions form their own. Chaos may occur at any time. The duty of Jinyiwei is to eliminate these hidden dangers of instability for the emperor!"
Although Shi Biao did not mention who the so-called "local factions" and "hidden dangers of instability" specifically referred to, it seems that this is not necessary at this time.It has not been a year or two for Xu Xinsu to control the military power in Fujian. Almost all the local garrisons are controlled by the Xu family's children, so that no one in Fujian dared to challenge the Xu family.The peaceful situation in Fujian is due to the dominance of the Xu family, and the hidden danger behind this peaceful situation also comes from the current situation of the Xu family covering the sky with only one hand in Fujian.
But when Shi Biao talked about this, his position was already very clear. Even if he had become a prisoner, he had no intention of surrendering to the Xu family.
Xu Yuxing took a deep breath and tried his best to stop the anger in his heart. There have been many guys like this who are hostile to the Xu family in the past few years, but basically they didn't end well.A mere Jinyiwei general banner, if you kill it immediately, you will kill it, and the news can't even get out of this courtyard.If it wasn't for the purpose of getting more words out of Shi Biao's mouth, he wouldn't want to waste his saliva here at all.
"It's nonsense! My Xu family has guarded the border for Daming for many years, guarding the southeast sea frontier. For so many years, it has kept Fujian safe. There is no credit but hard work. Besides, the imperial court has always trusted me. Waiting for the villains who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic!" Naturally, Xu Yuxing could not acquiesce in the other party's insinuating accusation, and he still had to refute it right now.
Xu Yuxing didn't wait for Shi Biao to refute, and made a gesture and said: "The trial will continue! If you still refuse to recruit, just give me a hello!"
Even if his subordinates rushed over like wolves and dragged Shi Biao out by his arms, one could imagine that there would be another brutal beating.
"This person's bones are quite tough." Jin Ming expressed his opinion aloud at this time: "Even though he knew that he still had a chance, he still gave up on his own initiative."
Xu Yuxing snorted and said: "Jumping out to fight against my Xu family is to seek death! No matter how hard the bones are, how can they withstand sharp knives and guns? Since he has made up his mind, I will give him a happy ending after the trial." !"
For such a determined person, Xu Yuxing didn't intend to waste any more time. If he could be tried, he would be tried, and if he couldn't be tried, he would be killed. In short, he couldn't stay.Even if this Shi Biao had some key information, in Xu Yuxing's view, it was irrelevant to the overall situation. Today, so many witnesses and material evidences were obtained in this Jinfa account, so why can't there be any clues?If it wasn't for the purpose of explaining to Haihan, he would have adopted more aggressive interrogation methods.
Jin Ming can actually feel Xu Yuxing's thoughts, but even if he doesn't fully agree with the other party's approach, he can only offer opinions as a participant, and it is impossible to dictate to Xu Yuxing.He only hoped that Xu Yuxing would not make impulsive decisions in a fit of anger, such as ordering the direct execution of insiders like Shi Biao.
At this time, in addition to the Jinfa, many places in Zhangzhou City were also surrounded by city defense regiments for search and arrest.Zhangzhou City has always had good law and order, and it is rare for the city gates to be closed and the city defense troops to search around, which makes people panic for a while.
According to the information provided by Xu Yuxing, the city defense army surrounded and searched Jinyiwei's other two strongholds in the city, one bright and one dark.At this moment, the face of the Xu family has been torn apart, and the Xu family has no scruples about what to do. They want to wipe out all the guards in the city for safety.
Unsurprisingly, the city defense forces encountered resistance in both places, but their strength was limited, because almost all the local Jinyiwei were concentrated on the Jinfahao, and only a few people were left to guard the house in these two strongholds.However, the Sun Baihu who was in charge of the local Jinyiwei was still not found. It seemed that he was not in Zhangzhou city at this time, just as Jinfa's Jinyiwei explained.
Because there are still many things that have not been clarified about this matter, Xu Xinsu did not blindly expand the scope of arrest targets, and almost all the people who should be arrested were arrested before dark, but Xu Xinsu still issued a curfew order to be safe.In fact, several main roads in the city had already been controlled by the city defense army that afternoon, and the people in the city heard that the city defense army was hunting down the Jiangyang gang of robbers, and most of them went home and closed their doors and windows tightly to avoid getting into trouble.
Since the target of the arrest was clear, the city defense army dispatched quickly and dealt with it properly, this arrest operation did not cause too much trouble in Zhangzhou City.Except for a few participants and commanders, the vast majority of people in Zhangzhou City did not know the truth of what happened today.
But the so-called capture of the Jiangyang bandit is okay for ordinary people. Today, so many Jinyiwei were arrested, and the Jinyiwei in Zhangzhou City were basically wiped out. This gives a more secure statement.
"Raising private soldiers, colluding with foreign bandits, smuggling weapons, assassinating important ministers, resisting in the corner... Well, write down all these crimes, and tomorrow morning... No, when I finish writing, I will send someone to expedite it to the capital for [-] miles. This matter must be taken first, so as not to be passive." After reading the memorial drafted by Dong Yanyun, Xu Xinsu expressed that he was basically satisfied with the content.
After all, Jin Yiwei is the son of heaven's pro-army. To cover up this conflict, Xu Xinsu has to come up with a plausible reason. It was an order from the imperial court. As long as the action is fast enough to play before the imperial court takes the next step, the imperial court will probably have to pinch its nose to recognize it.
Dong Yanyun said: "After this battle, Jin Yiwei must never set foot in Zhangzhou City again."
Xu Xinsu snorted coldly and said, "If you are not afraid of losing your life, you can come to Zhangzhou and try again!"
Allowing Jin Yiwei to station in Zhangzhou is actually a kind of tacit understanding between Xu Xinsu and the court, which means that he agrees with the court's practice of placing surveillance personnel near him, so as to prove that he has no intention of betraying the court.Before that, the Jinyiwei personnel stationed in Zhangzhou were honest and did not cause any trouble for Xu Xinsu, so the two sides have always been in a state of not interfering with each other.Even if Jinyiwei wants to operate a private property like Jinfahao in Zhangzhou, Xu Xinsu will give him the green light and will not impose restrictions.
But after the current incident, it is obviously impossible for Xu Xinsu and Jin Yiwei to get along peacefully again.From now on, Jinyiwei will probably not be allowed to set up a permanent institution in Zhangzhou.
Dong Yanyun said: "Master Jin in Haihan has been following the third young master, it seems that their attitude towards this matter seems to be more nervous than us."
Xu Xinsu said: "Sir, I don't know that this Spaniard is now selling muskets everywhere, and most of the transactions are with Haihan or conflicting forces. He has caused a lot of trouble for the Haihan people. It is said that Haihan wants to Investigating this matter also used a lot of manpower, there are countless people from Liaodong to Nanhai who are busy investigating this matter, this Lord Jin is just one of them."
Dong Yanyun said: "Relying on selling weapons to create trouble for Haihan, the Spaniard's move is a bit like fighting a bull out of a mountain."
Xu Xinsu shook his head and said: "This plan can only be used quickly for a while, but it will not have long-term effect. Think about it, the Spaniards can't beat Haihan by themselves. Could it be possible to regain the passive situation just by selling weapons? Selling a few muskets and cannons here and there will at best distract Haihan, and he won't have time to take care of them for the time being. Moreover, the Spaniards can't make weapons much faster. In the past, when our ship went to Manila, it would be too late. I have visited the local weapons workshop, and the scale is not at the same level as that of Haihan, so they can only do small things to sell weapons, and it will not become a big deal in the end."
Although Xu Xinsu didn't know the inside story of the Spanish colonial authorities' arms export, he saw the problem very accurately and was keenly aware of the shortcomings of the Spanish colonial authorities.
No matter how wild the Spaniard's channels are, as long as the number of weapons exported is not enough, it will be useless in the end.These forces receiving Spanish weapons are often unable to form real combat power in a short period of time, let alone confront Haihan's regular army, and once their new weapons are exposed, they will immediately attract Haihan's pursuit.
And the reason why Haihan is so nervous is not because the small number of armed personnel scattered in the first place can change the international situation, but more than half of the reason is to block the activities of the Spaniards in East Asia and prevent them from turning over. Space.The remaining part of the reason is that Haihan realized that someone was helping the Spaniards in the middle, and finding out the black hands behind the scenes could be said to be a more important goal than chasing down the Western-made weapons themselves.
Dong Yanyun nodded repeatedly and said: "Your Excellency is right, if you only rely on others to provide weapons, your foundation will be unstable, not to mention that the Spaniards are far away in the depths of the South China Sea, and it may take several months to transport things here. It is indeed somewhat impractical to fight with the weapons they provide."
Xu Xinsu understood Dong Yanyun's implication, and knew that he was reminding himself again that he should not only know how to buy weapons and equipment through buying, buying, but also try to realize self-production.He had his own plans for this matter, and he didn't explain much at the moment, so he brought the topic back to the current situation in Zhangzhou City: "According to the Haihan people, the Spaniards sell weapons through middlemen. What do you think?"
Dong Yanyun said: "Could it be that Jin Yiwei was the one who set the bridge?"
Xu Xinsu shook his head and said, "It should be unreasonable, because the Spaniards also sold their weapons to the Liaodong Jurchens. Even if Jin Yiwei is daring, it is impossible for him to do such a thing."
Jinyiwei is a special organization that directly pledges allegiance to the emperor. The commander of Jinyiwei can be regarded as the emperor's confidant. It is hard to imagine that such an organization serving the imperial power will secretly cooperate with the enemy.Even though Xu Xinsu had a very bad impression of Jin Yiwei, he didn't think that Jin Yiwei would betray Daming.
Xu Xinsu went on to say: "To be able to complete the arms transaction across such a long distance, the middleman must have rich sailing experience. Southern maritime merchants rarely go to places as far away as Liaodong, and northern maritime merchants are also unlikely to go. To the depths of the South China Sea. To be honest, even if Jin Yiwei wants to handle this matter, the shipping capacity may not be able to meet the requirements."
Dong Yanyun frowned and said: "In this way, it is actually rare to have such a level of influence. Except for Haihan's own family, probably only a few large merchants in Fuzhou and Guangzhou can do it."
Xu Xinsu said: "The Haihan people must have thought of this a long time ago, I think they have checked it several times..."
Dong Yanyun said: "They searched and searched, and they checked all the maritime merchants in Daming. Is there a possibility that this middleman is not Daming maritime merchants, or their original residence is not Daming's seaport, but they are only in the middle of the year? The identity of the Han maritime merchants is operating on the coast of Daming."
Xu Xinsu said: "The situation you mentioned is a bit interesting, but if it is the behavior of individual maritime merchants, this mobility is too strong, and it can open up all kinds of joints. Why do you have to do business with this ability? Being an official will definitely make you feel like a duck to water, and make a name for yourself.”
Dong Yanyun said: "To make such a big commotion, I'm afraid it's not something a single person can do. I feel that this is more like the work of a force, but I don't quite understand its motives. Now that I have mastered so many trade channels and sea routes, why not honestly do business and make money, but take great risks to fight against Hai Han. What are the benefits of fighting Hai Han?"
Xu Xinsu did not immediately respond to Dong Yanyun's question, because he was also stumped by this question.As far as he knows, there are many forces that have opposed Hai Han over the years, but none of them can have the last laugh, and there are not a few who have been uprooted.So what is the reason and what kind of purpose is driving the manipulator behind the scenes to choose to fight against Hai Han?
