"Who's under the city?" On the city wall, a soldier wearing general armor appeared and looked down at the city wall as he asked loudly.
"Imperial envoy, chief of ceremonies, eunuch with the seal, East Chamber's Chamber Duke Wei Zhongxian, Eunuch Wei has arrived.”The eunuch beside Tang Feng shouted at the top of the city wall.
The generals on the city wall all drew in a cold breath when they heard these three names.
"Is there any evidence?" The general was very dedicated to his duty and didn't immediately send people to open the city gate.
"How dare you." The eunuch was furious and was about to curse, but he was stopped by Tang Feng.
"I am Wei Zhongxian. Here, there is the imperial sword bestowed by His Majesty, as well as the eunuch seal of the ceremonial director.”
Tang Feng ordered his men to retrieve the imperial sword and his own seal.
When the general saw these two objects, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and respectfully kowtowed a few times.
"Hurry up and open the city gates."
The city gate slowly opened, and the convoy drove into Ningyuan City.
Ningyuan City Guard Commander Mao Chengyuan got up from his concubine's soft bed in a panic when he received the report.
"Ningyuan City Guard Commander Mao Chengyuan greets Eunuch Wei.”
Looking at the disheveled Commander Wei, Tang Feng snorted coldly.
He is the highest military officer of the first level of the guard, and is the third level.
Ningyuan City was still at the rear. There was only one guard here, which was divided into six thousand households. There were a total of 5,600 soldiers.
"Mao Chengyuan, do you know your sins?”Tang Feng looked at Mao Cheng Yuan and asked loudly.
Mao Chengyuan's body trembled at Tang Feng's question. Then, he knelt on the ground.
After Mao Chengyuan knelt on the ground, he seemed to have thought of something and was stunned for a moment. Then, his toot face changed color.
Tang Feng's gaze was focused on the change in Mao Chengyuan's expression.
As expected, even if he didn't participate in the attack on the grain convoy by the Mongolian Tartars, he knew about it.
"Men, take down the 'Grem'."”
"Eunuch Wei, I'm innocent, I'm innocent. I had nothing to do with that. It was all Sun Jie's doing.”Mao Chengyuan shouted in fear.
Sun Jie was the deputy commander of Liaodong Northeast Town. It was said that this person had a close relationship with Wang Shizhen.
"Colluding with the Mongolian Tartars to attack the imperial court to the front line to transport grain and baggage, causing hundreds of soldiers to die in vain, their crime should be executed."”
"As the commander of the Ningyuan Guards, you knew about Sun Jie's treasonous actions and that the Mongolian Tartars were attacking the supply carriages outside your Ningyuan City, but you didn't care.”Tang Feng kicked Mao Chengyuan and said loudly.
"Eunuch Wei, please spare my life.”At this moment, Mao Chengyuan's face was ashen as he cried and begged.
A few of the East Chamber's men pounced on the fat pig and pinned him to the ground, tying his hands with ropes.
After kidnapping Mao Chengyuan, Tang Feng gathered all the guards in Ningyuan City.
After counting the soldiers in the Guard Office, he couldn't help but curse.
There were 5600 guards, but only 3000 soldiers. The rest were all paid.
More than half of the weapons in the warehouse were missing. Those missing parts were sold to the Mongolian Tartars by Mao Chengyuan.
After the Yongle Year, iron became a strategic resource. The imperial court strictly ordered that no one was allowed to sell iron outside the Great Wall.
However, he didn't expect that the commander of the guard station would steal from himself and use the military supplies to trade with the Mongolian Tartars.
When the Dragon Guards led the musket soldiers to search the residences of Mao Chengyuan and his generals, they had seized over 600,000 taels of silver and gold.
That night, Tang Feng got Wang Zaijin to write a memorial. He signed it and ordered people to send it to the capital.
As for Mao Chengyuan and his generals, Tang Feng did not kill them directly. Instead, they were temporarily imprisoned in Ningyuan City's prison, waiting for the cabinet and the Emperor to deal with them.
Mao Chengyuan was still a third-rank commander. Although he had the power to kill, there was still Sun Jie behind him.
As the saying goes, cut the weeds and remove the roots. Since Mao Chengyuan had confessed personally, it was easy to trip Sun Jie.
The fall of Liaoyang and Shenyang, the Liaodong governor, and the commander of the North Town had to be dismissed and investigated.
Since he intended to push Wang Zaijin to the throne, then before that, he had to pave the way for Wang Zaijin.
Eight hundred li of urgent report, in just two days they arrived at the capital.
When the cabinet learned that Sun Jie, the deputy commander of the North Town, had colluded with the enemy and that the commander of the Ningyuan Guards had sold weapons and supplies to the Mongolian Tartars, the cabinet was in an uproar.
In a thunderous rage, a decree drafted by the cabinet and personally approved by the Little Tianqi Emperor was sent out of the capital to Liaodong.
Sun Jie, deputy commander of the North Town, and Mao Chengyuan, commander of Ningyuan Guard, colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country. Their crimes were unforgivable and implicated the three families.
After receiving this edict from the capital, Tang Feng no longer held back. With a wave of his hand, Mao Chengyuan and his generals were beheaded.
After that, he took this edict and rushed to Northtown.
At this moment, the three highest-ranking officers of North Town had been removed from their posts. All military and political affairs here were temporarily handled by the Chief Eunuch Yu Huafeng.
After Tang Feng arrived at the North Town, he immediately ordered people to arrest Sun Jie. Then, he executed her family.
The search of Sun Jie's mansion was fruitful.
It was obvious that this deputy general had done many things that betrayed the country over the years. Just the gold and silver alone was worth 800,000 taels of silver. The other antiques, calligraphy, and paintings were worth hundreds of thousands.
After going back and forth a few times, Tang Feng had nearly two million taels of gold and silver in his hands.
Many historians in the future mentioned the fall of the Ming Dynasty and believed that the economic bankruptcy of the Ming Dynasty was the original sin. This was actually not wrong.
The reason why the Great Ming Dynasty's economy went bankrupt was not because the country was poor, but because there were too many parasites. Most of the money was pocketed by corrupt officials.
Millions of vermin had greedily eaten and drank the blood of the Ming Dynasty, causing the country's taxes to go from bad to worse. During the Chongzhen period, even the soldiers in the north couldn't afford to pay taxes.
But in reality, these officials were all filthy rich. If they were to confiscate all the corrupt officials 'houses, the gold and silver they would get would probably be equivalent to decades of taxes from the Ming Dynasty. "Who's under the city?" On the city wall, a soldier wearing general armor appeared and looked down at the city wall as he asked loudly.
