Feng Wanli came to Liaodong through a series of connections.
His Jinyiwei Qianhu is a false title. With this job of protecting the court official Ning Yuan, he is a real Jinyiwei general. Without this job, he is just one of the many "Jinyiwei Qianhu" who are idle in the capital.
One of them, what is different from others every month is that they only receive a thousand-household military pay from Jinyiwei.
He really doesn't care about money. It can be said that he is not interested in money. He has never been short of money since he was a child.
What he cares about is credit, credit that can lead to steady progress.
Jiang Wan's statement poked at his weakness.
In comparison, regardless of how big a deal it is to consider a few thieves who may be suspected of being spies, even if Feng Wanli comes to Ningyuan, these thieves will not be eradicated. As long as the war with the Tatars continues, this kind of thing will never be eradicated.
.
He decided to let those guys go for the time being. No matter what the other party's purpose was, as long as they spent real money and bought supplies from the Folangji people and sent them to Ningyuan, it didn't matter if they were giving up their merits.
However, since Jiang Wan asked him to take the lead in this matter, then he must do it beautifully and everything goes well. He is worried about Feng Wanli, the court, and Ningyuan. If something goes wrong, it will be these guys.
, hiding evil intentions to disturb the hearts of our Ming army and people, he Feng Wanli clearly observed everything and decisively saw through the opponent's plot.
No matter what, he doesn't suffer.
It seems that there is something difficult to do with the Folangji people. The Folangji people seem to really intend to do business with these guys, otherwise, the other party will not climb up the pole.
"Miss Catherine, leave it to me!" Jiang Wan said sternly: "For Feng Qianhu, we will act secretly first. Once we are sure that the goods purchased by the other party have really arrived, we will report it to Feng Qianhu.
Things are finally settled!"
With Jiang Wan's guarantee, Feng Wanli felt a little more at ease. However, he did not dare to relax on those fur sellers. Instead, he sent people to keep an eye on them even more closely. As for escaping out of the city, he didn't even think about it.
I thought, if those guys showed signs of escaping, it would prove that this was all a scam to get away, and they could just capture them on the spot.
As the days passed, Feng Wanli became more and more at ease. The few guys his men were staring at not only did not try to leave the city, but some even came back from outside with batches of goods. It seemed that they
I really plan to do business with those Francois.
It wasn't until about ten days later that Jiang Wan told him: "The ship has arrived!"
"Without the military and horse protection of the imperial court, even if the Fo Langji ship dares to dock, the cargo cannot be unloaded!" Jiang Wan said: "Feng Qianhu can report this matter, or report it to the accompanying adults.
, it might as well be reported directly to Mr. Yuan, I think they should have regulations!"
"How many ships and how much cargo?" Feng Wanli was slightly excited. He had not always felt at ease in the past ten days, but now that the ships have arrived and are waiting to transport the goods, he finally felt that this matter was probably
Implemented.
"It is said that there are two ships. I don't know how much cargo there is!" Jiang Wan said honestly: "When the time comes to collect the goods and pay the money, Miss Catherine and his companions will also go together!"
"Of course, without them, those ships would have stayed far away when they saw our soldiers and horses!"
Feng Wanli nodded, feeling that this matter was not of much use to the accompanying officials from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs. Instead, it gave them a share of the credit. They could not control the Jin Yiwei, and Feng Wanli could not help him.
Why are you so busy and why should you let them benefit from this matter?
After sending Jiang Wan away, he thought for a moment and went directly to see Yuan Chonghuan.
What surprised him was that not only did he quickly meet the world-famous Master Yuan, but he also heard him talk about this matter. Yuan Chonghuan had no doubts and directly allocated 500 troops and troops.
He was deeply moved by the crisp and clean attitude of the hundreds of strong vehicles.
If not to say that they can defeat the Tatars this time, their boldness cannot be compared to those guys from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household who only know how to talk.
It was almost dark when Jiang Wan, Fo Lang Jiren, and the fur trader who was almost walking behind them and never leaving, finally set off towards the vicinity of Juehua Island under the escort of soldiers and horses sent by Feng Wanli and Yuan Chonghuan.
Already.
This fierce battle was accompanied by the great victory of Ningyuan and the great defeat of Juehua Island.
Juehua Island is only more than fifty miles away from Ningyuan. It consists of a main island and three small islands. Because it is surrounded by water and Ningyuan is at the horns of each other, it can be said to be a fortress on the east and west sea and land, strangling the throat of water and land in western Liaoning. Its location
It must be important.
The Ming Dynasty regarded this place as an important grain, grass and ordnance reserve base, and also took a fancy to Juehua Island, which was surrounded by water.
It is a pity that this time when Hou Jin attacked Juehua Island, the navy on Juehua Island was of no use at all. Hou Jin's cavalry took advantage of the ice on the water and came directly from the land, without the water of the warships.
The division officers and soldiers and the wolf-like and tiger-like Houjin Cavalry were in close combat, and there was no suspense about the outcome.
It's like Ningyuan has a great victory, but you let Ningyuan lose its solid city wall.
It is said that the ships of the Folangji people have arrived near Mopan Island, a small island near Juehua Island. Judging from the weather, the ice on the water is expected to continue for some time. The ships of the Folangji people do not dare to dock.
There is a reason.
"Keep an eye on them!" Feng Wanli looked at the guys in the team who were looking around, and ordered his men: "As soon as they leave the group, kill them immediately!"
The Jin Yiwei beside him nodded knowingly, with a somewhat greedy look in his eyes. It is said that those guys may have thousands of taels of silver notes with them. If they really want to run away, then no wonder everyone is destined to get rich.
On the other side, Catherine was hurriedly looking at the soldiers and horses around her. Different from the soldiers and horses that escorted them, these hundreds of troops were fully armed and ready to fight at any time. Their faces were solemn, and they advanced and retreated in a controlled manner.
, which even made Catherine feel a little nervous.
"Will we really meet those enemies?" She asked Jiang Wan beside her, with a worried look on her face.
"The place we are going to has been burned into ruins. Our Ming soldiers and horses have already gone over to check it out!" Jiang Wan comforted her: "If there are no accidents, the possibility of us encountering the enemy is still very small!"
"What if we meet?" Catherine was shivering from the cold. Although she also had her own short-fire blunderbuss, in such weather, she knew that it would be good if she could fire the first shot, and there was almost no chance of firing the second shot.
And she is still a woman!
"I'm fine, you're fine!" Jiang Wan patted her shoulder.
The strong wind roared past, causing pain on her face. However, where Jiang Wan had patted her shoulder, there seemed to be a warmth passing through her clothes, making her feel that the cold wind was not so cold all of a sudden.
