Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 53 Buying People's Hearts
Qinglong raised his eyebrows and thought to himself:

"Sure enough, it's Fan Yongdou's caravan. The news is very reliable."

Ignoring Fan Fu's jabbering, Qinglong waved to his Jin Yiwei:

"Check the caravan goods immediately to see if there are any commodities that the imperial court prohibits trading."

"Yes"

A small leader of Jinyiwei agreed, and led a group of Jinyiwei to inspect the caravan's merchandise.

Fan Fu, who was chattering just now, turned pale when he saw Jin Yiwei inspecting the caravan's items, and an unknown liquid began to flow out of his trouser legs.

Jin Yiwei didn't kill him just now, he still had a little fantasy, now he feels that he is finished.

If Jin Yiwei finds out the things transported by the caravan, it would be enough for him to die hundreds of times.

Even if he fled back, it is estimated that Fan Yongdou would not spare him, so it is better to run away, the farther the better.

Think about it and do it. Once people feel that their lives are threatened, their potential will be fully stimulated in order to escape.

Fan Fu, whose legs were trembling just now, suddenly ran away, faster than a rabbit.

It's a pity that all he met today were hunters, and the rabbit would soon die.

Seeing Fan Fu running away, a sneer appeared on the corner of Qinglong's mouth:
"I wanted to save your life for another half an hour. Since you want to die so much, this commander will do good deeds and fulfill you."

"Whoosh..."

Before Qinglong finished speaking, he raised his foot and kicked a long spear flying on the ground. The long spear seemed to have eyes and flew towards Fan Fu with a strong wind.

"Pfft... ah..."

Fan Fu's martial arts is very average, and he can be a caravan captain because of his good tongue.

He clearly heard the strong wind coming from behind him, but he had no ability to dodge at all. The spear kicked by Qinglong pierced directly through the back of his heart.

There was a scream, and the huge inertia of the spear took Fan Fu forward a few meters before nailing him to a tree.

"My lord, look at what they are transporting. These people are simply daring."

Jin Yiwei, who was in charge of the inspection, had just opened the large box that the caravan had sealed with wooden boards, and reported loudly to Qinglong.

In fact, Qinglong had long thought that the caravan transported contraband, otherwise the emperor would not have asked him to make a special trip when the capital was short of manpower.

"All the boxes are opened."

"Yes"

When Qinglong saw a box of salt, he immediately ordered the box to be opened for inspection.

When all the boxes were opened, Qinglong's face changed drastically, and his eyes were about to burst into flames.

The goods transported by the caravan include not only salt, grain, cloth, bows and arrows, knives and guns and other weapons.

There are also gunpowder and Vulcan guns, and in the end, five red-clothed cannons that were tightly wrapped were found.

These firearms are not brand new, they have been used once at a glance, except for the imperial army, who else can have these firearms.

Could it be that they resold the firearms of the Ming army to Dongyao, and let Dongyao use Ming's firearms to attack Daming?
Thinking of the possible outcome, Qinglong couldn't help cursing:

"Bastard, damn it, this gang of utterly devoid of conscience is actually selling weapons and firearms to captives."

"My lord's guess is correct, and my subordinates think so too. May I ask how to deal with these military supplies?"

The centurion of Jin Yiwei asked Qinglong again, they didn't know how to deal with these substances.

Qinglong did not answer his subordinates' inquiries, but instead asked them:

"Whose sphere of influence is Zhangjiakou in?"

"My lord, after the leader of the bandits was killed, they surrendered to the imperial court, and now belong to Daming."

Qinglong was overjoyed when he heard that:
""All the materials stay where they are, leaving some Jinyiwei guards, and the others follow me. After the eight imperial merchants are dealt with, they will be pulled back to the capital. ""

The number of goods in the caravan is too large, they simply cannot take them away, and there is no place to put them.

Knowing that they colluded with the government and businessmen, it is impossible for Qinglong to bring the supplies back to the government.

Qianqing Palace

Zhu Youjian is summoning Qi Jiguang, Sun Chuanting and other military gods, and Li Yan and his wife are also on the list.

Not only was she and the others deeply surprised by the summoning of Li Yan and his wife this time, but even Qi Jiguang and others did not understand.

Zhu Youjian saw everyone's doubts, but he didn't explain. These people are all his loyal fans.

"Li Yan, how is the military training of your husband and wife? Can you use the new firearms proficiently?"

Hearing the emperor's question, Li Yan and his wife hurriedly stood up and saluted:

"Reporting to the emperor, Caomin and his wife are training recruits all the time. I thank General Qi for guiding them personally. Now the recruits have made great progress, and they are also very loyal to Daming."

When Li Yan spoke, he also deliberately emphasized that the recruits were very loyal. He was worried that the emperor would not trust them.

The recruits mentioned here are actually the surrendered soldiers of the rogue bandits.

Later, some strong young people were selected to join.

Of course, there are also many summoned soldiers from Zhu Youjian. They can not only help recruits improve their firearm use skills, but also supervise them.

Zhu Youjian understood what Li Yan meant, and he smiled slightly:
"Li Yan, you are not grassroots people anymore. From today onwards, I will appoint you as the commander-in-chief of Shaanxi, and Hong Niangzi as the wife of the second rank. You should prepare well. After a while, the soldiers will send troops to Shaanxi to recover the lost land."

"The intruder is dead, and the remaining rogues are no longer to be feared. I believe that you will succeed immediately."

Okay, with Zhu Youjian's words, let Li Yan become the commander-in-chief of Shaanxi, and his wife's second-rank imperial order, this is the real imperial official canonized by the Ming Dynasty.

Li Yan and his wife just stood there in a daze and didn't react for a long time. They didn't believe it was true at all.

When they surrendered to Ming Dynasty, the two only wanted to save those rebels who surrendered, and they were extremely disappointed with Li Zicheng.

He and the others never thought that they would be officials in Daming, and they are still such great officials.

In fact, with Li Yan's talent and his wife's help, there must be no problem in being a general.

On this point, Zhu Youjian firmly believed that without Li Yan's help, Li Zicheng would not be able to do much.

Seeing that Li Yan and his wife had been in a daze, Qi Jiguang was secretly amused. He gently pulled Li Yan's lapel and said with a smile:
"Congratulations to Mr. Li and Mrs. Gaoming, please thank the Lord for your kindness, haha..."

Others also followed to congratulate Li Yan and his wife, which made Mrs. Li Yanhong react.

The two hurriedly prostrated themselves in front of Zhu Youjian, touching the ground with tears streaming down their faces:
"Miss Li Yanhong thanked the Lord for his kindness, how can my husband and wife be so rewarded by the Holy Majesty!"

Zhu Youjian laughed loudly, raised his hand to signal for the two to be flat, and spoke highly of them:
"Haha... the two lovers, hurry up and level yourselves. I have long heard that Li Yan is brilliant, a red lady and a heroine. I, Ming, will never bury any of the pillars of the country."

"Thank you Shengshang Longen, Lady Li Yanhong will devote herself to Daming and die."

Li Yan and his wife are really grateful to Zhu Youjian, and they are determined to go up the sword and go down the sea of ​​fire for Daming.

Sun Chuanting and Sun Chengzong knew Li Yan's talent well. After the couple left, they all got up to congratulate the emperor:

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor for getting another pillar of talent."

Qi Jiguang and Li Cunxiao also clasped their fists and said with a smile:
"Your Majesty, we don't know exactly how talented Li Yan and his wife are, but there is one thing we know very well.

It is definitely the best strategy for the emperor to use Li Yan and his wife to regain the lost land occupied by the rogues, my lord is wise! "
