Q: What should I do if I provoke a big guy who can't afford to offend me?

I don’t know what others do, but Ma Duo, who failed to steal chickens and even lost a handful of rice, knew very well that if he didn’t run away quickly, the boss who couldn’t afford to offend would definitely send someone to kill him.

After a sad look at the city of the border city, Maiduo immediately fled north, intending to be far away from both Tatars and Oirat, so as not to be caught by these two bastards who betrayed Changshengtian for money.

After running for several days, Madou had to stop and rest until the heads of the small tribes who followed him started complaining.

Liu Shaochong, who also ran with Mai Duo for several days, was also a little weak, and his body was almost distracted, making him look weak in energy.

Decades of wealth and prosperity have long made Liu Shaochong lose the ruthlessness of entering the palace. If it weren't for the belief in avenging his younger brother, I'm afraid Liu Shaochong would have collapsed long ago.

Looking at Liu Shaochong, who was rubbing his old waist opposite, Mai Duo's anger surged upwards. If he hadn't known that he had to rely on this dead eunuch, Mai Duo would have wanted to pull out the knife, then stab the bastard half to death with one knife, and then tied it behind the ponytail to drag him to death!

He glared at Liu Shaochong with hatred before Mai Duo said, "What should I do now?"

Liu Shaochong said: "According to our family's understanding of the Ming Emperor, we are afraid that the army that pursues ours has gathered, and it is estimated that it will take less than a few days to reach the border city. In other words, we will not only face the pursuit of the Tatars, but also the pursuit of the Ming army."

Mai Duo frowned and said, "Don't challenge my patience. I will try my best to give you what you want, including if you want Yang Shaofeng's head, I have also helped you.

But you also need to know that the reason why I keep you until now is that I hope you can serve me and revive the glory of Dayuan, rather than talking nonsense about these useless things here.”

After sneering, Mai Duo continued: "If you don't have any good ideas, I may be able to hand you over to Yang Dianma from the Ming Dynasty and retreat to Mobei."

Liu Shaochong also frowned and said, "Our family is just telling the truth. If Dahan doesn't want to listen, then I have no good idea. However, there is no way to solve the problem in front of me."

Seeing that Mai Duo still had a bad face, Liu Shao Chong stopped keeping his plans, but directly told him: "Before we came to the grassland, we heard news that Tulupan envoy Ma Heimu and others were going to return to China, which was an excellent opportunity for the Khan."

Mai Duo sneered: "The last time you besieged the border city, you said it was also an excellent opportunity, but what about it later?"

Liu Shaochong said: "Last time, I originally said that I would divide the troops into two groups, and first sent a partial army to pretend to be a horse bandit to attack Xinghe Fort in order to lead out the defenders of the border city. The Khan himself did not want to.

Even so, if the people who entered the city later were not too anxious, how could the Ming army find something strange? How could the plan fail? Now Dahan is going to blame me?"

Mai Duo, whose face was indifferent, took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "These things have passed, and now it is meaningless to say these things. Just talk about this time. What does it have to do with us when the envoys of Tulupan return to China?"

Seeing that Mai Duo quietly pulled himself into the camp of the so-called Great Yuan Empire, Liu Shaochong sneered in his heart and said directly: "With the two hunting dogs, Tatar and Oirat, the Ming army will be able to bite us soon. Even if we go all the way north, they will probably be able to chase us."

Instead of being caught up slowly by them, it is better to take the initiative to move westward. We can not only give an explanation to the leaders of those small tribes, but also find an opportunity to rob Ma Heimu and his group, and then frame Yang Dianma, which is just a kill of two birds with one stone."

Mai Duo frowned and said, "Even if Ma Heimu and others walk on the grassland, there should be cavalry escorts. We can kill them so openly, can we succeed?"

Liu Shaochong smiled sinisterly and said, "As long as everyone dies, the wind and sand in the sky will cover everything. As long as we hear that it was done by him, Yang Dianma, that is what he did. What else can Tulupan send people to find out?

Think about the swords we picked up in the city of the border city. Just throw a few pieces of them at will, and the things with the numbers of the Ming craftsmen on it will be nailed to death. At that time, even if he had a few hundred mouths, he would not be able to wash it clearly!"

After a while of silence, Madou said, "I will believe you again. If this time is not successful, I will let you know what life is worse than death!"

Liu Shaochong sneered: "As long as the Khan can act according to his plan, our family can guarantee that there will be no problem. But if there is another situation like when we seized the sect last time, then our family will have no good idea."

...

Zhu Gaoxu had a headache. Maiduo's dog ran without a trace. Even the best knight in the Tatar tribe was deviated by the messy traces. He swayed on the grassland for more than ten days before finding Maiduo's tribe's traces, but went west instead of heading north.

He was sent by Alutai to follow the guide and took charge of the fire-removing platform of the three thousand entourage troops to find Zhu Gaoxu and said carefully: "Now, looking at the signs, Mai Duo's troops are heading west, but there is no way to judge where their purpose is."

Zhu Gaoxu took the map drawn from the fire removal platform and gestured the direction of Mai Duo's troops on the map for a long time. Then Zhu Gaoxu frowned and said, "Did they go to Juyanhai?"

The fire-breaking platform nodded and said, "Looking at the moment, it should be. After passing Juyanhai and Jinshan, they can directly reach Yilibali, and then directly enter the Western Regions. At that time, we really can't chase after it."

Damn it!

After cursing in his heart, Zhu Gaoxu simply hurriedly wrote a letter, instructing his personal soldiers to send them to the border city before turning over and saying to the fire-breaking platform: "You are leading the way in front, and you have to catch up with Ma Duo no matter what, otherwise it will be really troublesome."

Seeing that Zhu Gaoxu was talking seriously, the fire-removing platform looked calm. After turning over the horse, he bowed to Zhu Gaoxu, and then followed the traces left by Mai Duo's troops.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't know why a defected eunuch could know the route of the Tulupan envoy's return to China, and even more so what was involved in it. However, Zhu Gaoxu knew very well that if the dead eunuch really led his men to kill the Tulupan envoy, then the fun would be great.

The Ming Dynasty was not worried about what would happen to Tulupan, but it couldn't afford to lose this person!

Yang Shaofeng, who also received the news, was also a little confused.

Yang Shaofeng had no idea about the return of Tulupan envoys, and it was even more impossible for him to know their route, but could a dead eunuch who defected to Madhuo's tribe know?

Ji Gang said with a gloomy face: "It's obvious that there is a line we don't know that is connecting to the traitor. Haha, this is interesting and tight."

I felt that I was being provoked, and Ji Gang's fingers were so white that he dared to do these things under the nose of the Jinyiwei. It was obvious that he didn't take the Jinyiwei seriously, or in other words, he didn't take the Ming Dynasty seriously at all!

Taking a deep breath, Ji Gang bowed to Yang Shaofeng and said, "There is so much involved in this matter, and I can't stay in the border city anymore. Ji will return to Beijing now and check who is involved!"

Yang Shaofeng sighed helplessly and said, "You still have to think about it? Since this dead eunuch can slip from Datong to the grassland, the border guards in Datong need to be checked. When it comes to the time and route of the envoy's return, the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple also need to be checked.

In my opinion, the other party has no intention of concealing it. Instead, he bet that you dare not continue to investigate from the side to the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple. If you really check it all the way, you still don’t know how many people and things will be involved.”

Ji Gang sneered and said, "Whether to continue to investigate, what I said in Ji Gang doesn't count, what you said in the top scholar doesn't count, what Your Majesty says is only counted. As long as Your Majesty doesn't order me to stop, the Jinyiwei will definitely follow this line to investigate, no matter who it involves.

Don’t forget that the last time Linqing corruption case was involved, the number of people involved was not ten or eight, but more than 20,000 people. In the end, it was also the ones that should be killed and the ones that should be exiled?"

Faced with Ji Gang's confident attitude, Yang Shaofeng no longer advised him, but instead prepared some good wine for Ji Gang to take with him.

Yang Shaofeng also wanted to know that although he offended a lot of people, who has such great ability to send people to the grassland and constantly pass messages onto the grassland.

However, this matter has been taken over by Ji Gang, so Yang Shaofeng has no choice but to put all his thoughts on the border city.

It is February of the 14th year of Yongle, and it has been a whole year since I traveled to the Ming Dynasty. The Bianshi City, which had been around for almost half a year, is growing up little by little like my own children.

It is time to thoroughly calculate the autumn tax for the 13th year of Yongle, and then estimate the spring tax for the 14th year of Yongle with Qi Mutang and Liang Jinglun.

According to Yang Shaofeng's estimate, in the past few months, the commercial tax brought by the trade in cattle, sheep, salt, iron, tea, wine and other trade has reached more than 100,000 taels.

You should know that the commercial tax of the entire Yongle Twelve may be less than 20 million taels, which is the addition of all the commercial taxes of the entire Ming Dynasty. A small border city reached a scale of more than 100,000 taels in less than two months.

What if it is the 14th year of Yongle? After the expansion of the border city is completed, the scale of the transaction will be expanded a little further?
