"Bastard, you are so bold! Believe it or not, as long as I give the order, I can throw you into the mountains to feed the tigers!"
Seeing that a small businessman dared to threaten himself, an official of the imperial court, Guo Guoqi became angry, his eyes widened, and he slapped the table with murderous intent.
"Haha", Tao Fushang showed no fear on his face, as calm as water, he just stared at Guo Tiancai in a playful manner.
Guo Tiancai also traveled all over the country to do business and met countless people. He immediately felt shocked, "This person is not easy to deal with. He is definitely not an ordinary businessman!"
"Oh, please tell me in detail, what did I commit?"
Tao Fushang calmly took out a pamphlet and read slowly: "Last January, you used the army to escort the food, cloth, and tea of your caravan out of the customs, and evaded taxes and silver of one thousand taels; last May,
You resell ironware and salt to Mongolian businessmen??"
Guo Tiancai was furious: "You are spitting blood!"
"Don't be anxious Guo Guerrilla. I haven't finished talking yet. The most important thing is this." Tao Fushang still laughed. "Last November, you sold a large amount of grain, ironware, medicinal materials, and salt to a man named Hong.
businessman".
"Humph, so what, there is no official in this world who is not greedy. I like to do business, and Chen Duxian also knows it."
Tao Fushang smiled even more happily: "Reselling regulated salt, ironware, and grain is indeed a trivial matter; tax evasion and money evasion are not a big problem. But the businessman named Hong is the servant of Zhu Chenggong's important minister Hong Zheng. You sold him to
All his supplies went to Zhu Chenggong's military camp. This year he attacked Fuzhou, but he ate the food you sent and used the weapons made of the iron you sent. You acted as an official of the Qing Dynasty and helped the Ming Dynasty.
You are truly a righteous man! I admire you!"
Guo Tiancai didn't speak, just stared at Tao Fushang coldly.
Tao Fu Shang was delighted: "Could it be that Guo Guerrilla wanted to kill me and silence me? It's too late! Didn't you find that Guo Fu, the second steward of your house, and several stewards of the caravan were missing?"
Guo Tiancai broke out in sweat, "Who are you? What do you want?"
"I, Tao Wen, from the Jinyi Guards of Qianhu, Fujian Province, are here to persuade Guo Guerrilla to offer Baisong Ridge and submit to the Ming Dynasty."
Guo Tiantian remained silent.
"Why, does Guo Youyi think that with his more than 2,000 soldiers and horses, he can stop the 100,000 Ming army? Knowing that he can't defend, he still insists on holding on, and then loses his life. Isn't he doing a loss-making business?" Tao Wen used the analogy of doing business, and Guo Tiancai understood it immediately. Yes, with his few soldiers and horses, he would definitely not be able to stop the Ming army, and it would not be worth losing his life. Besides, even if he could defend Baisong Ridge, he would have to resell supplies.
Even if Zhu Chenggong is stabbed, he will still inevitably die. It is better to surrender to the Ming Dynasty in order to seek wealth and honor, and there is no need to keep the money to meet the ancestors after death.
Since you plan to surrender, you might as well surrender thoroughly. Just like doing business, you have to be willing to spend a lot of money at the critical moment. Guo Tiancai gritted his teeth and said, "I am willing to submit to the Ming Dynasty, and I have some friendship with the Pinghe guerrilla Ji Guangqiu who is stationed in Dafeng Mountain.
Willing to help Ming Dynasty defraud Dafeng Mountain."
"Oh, Guo Youyi has accomplished a great service by dedicating Baisong Mountain to the mountain. If he defrauds Dafeng Mountain, it will be even more merit. Don't worry, the Ming Dynasty will never treat its meritorious officials badly."

The general of the Han Dynasty received an iron whip when he was about to flow, and the name of the Marquis of E was engraved on the old carvings.
It must be an unparalleled thing in the Holy Age, and it must be willing to drive the generals to sleep in the Nine Springs.
The blood of the captives is not invaded by the sweat and horses, and the magical power is now seen in the chapter of repairing the dead.
When the time comes, I will recommend it to the Mingjun. Don’t lament that it has been buried for two hundred years.
This song "Ode to the Iron Horse Whip" is said to be about the purple gold whip used by the famous Tang Dynasty general Yu Chigong. Legend has it that this whip was buried underground for two hundred years before it came to light. In fact, Yu Chigong's commonly used weapon was the whip, which was used in close combat.
Use a whip.
Ma Bao also has a whip, and he is good at using the tanning whip spear. The tanning whip spear is not a gun, but a right-hand pistol and a left-hand whip.
When fighting, he likes to hold a seven-foot spear in his right hand and a tiger-eye iron whip hanging from his left wrist. This whip is very short, no more than two feet, with a bamboo-shaped whip body, multiple sections, and each section is four-ridged.
There is a sharp awl on the top, and the handle is thickened and then perforated to hang a lanyard. When the enemy is far away, use a spear to stab, pick, poke, and sweep; when the enemy is close, use a whip to stab, smash, chop, and cut.
"Da! Da! Da!"
Ma Bao rode his horse slowly on the rugged mountain road leading to Bosong Ridge. He was very tall, with big shoulders and a round waist. What was even more strange was that his eyes were red. From a distance, he looked like a god.
"Call!"
Ma Weixing galloped to Ma Bao's side. He was Ma Bao's brother and a general who was good at fighting. "Brother Bao, this mountain is steep, so be careful!"
Ma Bao nodded, "Brother, you immediately send out scouts to explore the surrounding areas and be careful of Tatar ambush. In addition, ask the soldiers to prepare more shields and short knives, and attack the mountain one by one, with a distance of ten meters between each one."<
/p>
As soon as Ma Weixing took the order and left, he suddenly heard the sound of three cannons. The gate of the Qing army's stronghold on the mountain opened wide and people filed out.
Ma Bao was confused, what was the enemy doing? Neither forming a formation nor firing muskets and arrows?
I saw an enemy general with a fat head and big ears slowly walking towards me, shouting as he walked: "Don't shoot the arrows, Baisongling guard Guo Tiancai led his men to return to the Ming Dynasty anyway!"
I won the first battle in Fujian. I won it very easily and comfortably. It was just a trip to the mountains.
Ma Bao is very unsatisfying. If the defenders are like this everywhere, how can I use my martial arts?
??
"General, this is Guo Tianfeng, the guard of Baisong Mountain." Ma Bao led Guo Tianfeng to see Yan Tianfeng.
Yan Tianfeng glanced at Guo Tianfeng, who lowered his eyebrows and nodded respectfully, and smiled. This man has a full heaven and a round earth, so he is a lucky general. He also thought that this is the first Qing general who has submitted to me since the Ming Dynasty entered Fujian.
A heavy reward must be obtained to achieve the effect of horse bones worth a thousand gold coins.
"General Guo, you have made a great contribution to the Ming Dynasty by offering Baisong Mountains to the Ming Dynasty. I will commend you for your merits and promote you to the rank of participating general."
Guo Tiancai was overjoyed: "Thank you so much, general. I am willing to defraud Dafeng Mountain for the Ming Dynasty to repay the general for his kindness."
Yan Tianfeng gave him an approving look and said, "Tell me about the situation of the Dafeng Mountain and the Pinghe County defenders on its west side."
"General, Pinghe County was originally stationed by the pseudo-Qingping and the guerrilla Ji Guangqiu. This man is brave and good at fighting, and extremely vicious. He once suppressed a rebel uprising, and he is a big traitor. I will never stand against him!"
"Okay, okay, I know the general's loyalty. Let's talk about the important point. How many troops does he have? How is he deployed?"
"General, there are more than 2,000 soldiers and horses in Jiguangqiu. Seeing that our army is strong and Pinghe City is not strong, he withdrew all the troops to Dafeng Mountain and defended against the mountain. Pinghe City is already an empty city."
.

Dafeng Mountain in Zhangzhou has many names, including Lingtong Mountain, Dafan Mountain, Dapeng Mountain, and Dafeng Mountain. Dafeng Mountain means towering into the clouds, and is known as the first mountain in southern Fujian.
The most precipitous Lion Peak in Dafeng Mountain is like a lion coiled between the cliffs. The Chinese army who fought against the Qing Dynasty and the guerrillas in the autumn is placed in the Lingtong Temple on the Lion Peak.
This Lingtong Temple is different from ordinary temples. It is built in a natural stone cave, covered with rocks on top, and a cliff below. There is only a "ladder" path to climb, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Because of this natural danger, even though Ji Guangqiu only had more than 2,000 soldiers and horses, he was not afraid of the Ming army at all.
Hum hum, take advantage of the danger and stand firm, what can you do to me?
"Report, the Ming army has captured Baisong Ridge, and the defeated troops of Guo's guerrillas are rushing towards this peak."
When Zhe Guangqiu heard the military report, he walked to the gate of the village and looked down the peak. Guo Tiancai's fat face came into his eyes.
"Brother Zhe Xian, help me. The Ming army is chasing me. Let me go up the mountain quickly."
When Guo Tiancai was selling goods, he did a lot of favors to Feng Guangqiu, and the two had some friendship.
Zhe Guangqiu secretly cursed him as a waste, ordered his subordinates to open the village gate and let them go up the mountain.
Hundreds of defeated soldiers came up the mountain.
In the blink of an eye, Qiu suddenly saw a general behind Guo Tiancai. He was very tall and tall, with red eyes. He held a gun in his right hand and a whip in his left hand, looking majestic and majestic.
"Who is this general?"
"I am the King of Hell who wants your life!"
Ma Bao shouted loudly, stepped forward, and smashed Ji Guangqiu's head with a whip.
