In the early Ming Dynasty, wars were frequent and horses were scarcely scarce. During the Hongwu period, Ming Taizu sent envoys to open exchanges in various border areas. Because the Mongolians mostly trade horses, it is called the horse market.
In March of the fourth year of Yongle, they set up a horse market in the east of the Kaiyuan city and Tieshan in the Guangning city. The horse city officials were appointed to purchase the horses of Wuliangha and Jurchen. Since then, horse markets have been opened almost every year two to three times. Mongolia traded camel and horse hides for daily necessities, while the imperial court banned the buying and selling of copper, iron, and weapons.
Only after the "Tumu Fortress", the horse market was banned.
Yingzong was defeated and taken into captivity because of the horse market, but was forced to open a horse market. Later, he died first, and Daming no longer opened a horse market from this time on.
It was not until the fifth year of Jiajing that Tumote, led by Altan Khan, rose in Gufengzhouchuan, which coincided with the rebellion of Tianzhou Cenmeng. One part of Tatar attacked Taozhou and the other attacked Datong and Xuanfu. Li Fuda and others first preached Maitreya in Gansu, Luochuan and other places. The Jiajing emperor, who had just calmed down the big ceremony, is working to rectify the internal affairs, and for this reason, he compromised and opened a horse market for one year.
In that year, Emperor Jiaqing vigorously reformed his internal affairs, stopped feeding hawks and insects, changed the salt law of Lianghuai, changed the land of the Mang Department, and imposed severe punishments. All kinds of wise and kind deeds greatly inspire people's hearts. In the second year, Emperor Jiajing cancelled the horse market again, and it has continued to this day.
Now that Lu Bing heard Sun Quan mentioning the horse market, he had vaguely felt that there might be a shocking secret behind this, and this secret might very well become the final judgment of success or failure.
After Lu Bing settled down, Sun Quan began to talk about how to know the whole story of the horse market.
Sun Quandao: "Before he came out and wandered the rivers and lakes, the villain heard Jiayue inadvertently mentioned the Yanbian horse market. Although I knew that the horse market was forbidden, I didn't care much. However, the day before yesterday, the two of me intercepted the adult and escaped. Later, I went back to life the next night, but I overheard Zhang Mo and Li Lisan say that Chen Hong decided to get rid of us and about the Yanbian horse market. Fortunately, my husband and wife are both good at light work, so I can have a chance to come as an adult. The subordinates serve."
Lu Bing thought about it, grasped a key point and asked, "Why did your father-in-law mention the horse market?"
Sun Quan hesitated, then hesitated, "This."
Lu Bing snorted coldly: "Don't make up, let's talk about it after you think about it."
Sun Quan yelled and dared not say: "My father-in-law... used to know Li Fuda..."
"Li Fuda." Lu Bing recalled and suddenly realized: "Oh, Li Fuda of Maitreya, haha, it is not surprising to know Li Fuda based on your father-in-law’s style back then. Many of the so-called volunteers back then were Bailian sects. Instigated and even directly led, Maitreya and an important branch of the White Lotus Sect... But I did not expect that your father-in-law is still related to the White Lotus Sect.
Sun Quan said in shock: "My lord, my lord has misunderstood. Jiayue has been out of the rivers and lakes for many years. It's just that his old man was gracious to those people because of his righteousness and money, so those people would come to him...
Lu Bing interrupted impatiently: "Speaking of horse market, don't talk about irrelevant nonsense."
Sun Quan shrank his head and said: "When those people came to the villain’s house and wanted to invite my father-in-law out of the mountain, they mentioned Yanbian Horse Market. The villain remembered that his father-in-law was taken aback at the time, and he strictly refused to come out. After so many years, some people will find it. In my home, my father-in-law is invited to come out of the mountain. Although his father-in-law refused, he has never been so strict. He also said that there is a way to steal and cannot betray the country, so I can still remember this matter.
Lu Bing nodded and said, "It seems that for so many years, Huang Duxian has not insulted the name of a thief."
Seeing Lu Bing’s face as usual, Sun Quan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "Going back that day, the villain heard that Zhang Mo and Li Lisan discussed about killing us, and mentioned that Chen Hong sent Zhang Mo to Yanbian to take care of the horse market. At that time, Li Lisan still envied the amount of oil and water in Zhang Mo's horse market. The villain knew that the horse market had been banned for many years, so the horse market they said must be a black market! Recall that his father-in-law once mentioned that some big business groups in Daming were smuggling north. The villain immediately realized that I shouldn’t have listened to it. My husband and I also heard Zhang Mo and Li Lisan talk about adults, saying that even the governor of the East Factory must be in awe of three points. Some talked about the adults and the current saints. The relationship between my husband and I want to come, but the horse market betrays Daming, betraying Daming, is betraying the emperor, the relationship between the adult and the emperor is so close, it must be the emperor. If you want to come, the entire capital will dare to protect me. Two one or two, just rushed over."
Lu Bing started knocking on the handrail again, he already understood. This horse market is a black market, or a long-term horse market jointly established by Dongchang and a large private consortium. The question now is to figure out, does the emperor know about this matter? If the emperor also has a share in the middle, it cannot be mentioned, if the emperor does not know. Hum, I can think of how lucrative this horse market is, not to mention. . Smuggling is also called the enemy! It's treason!
Thinking of this, Lu Bing immediately ordered: Get the horse! I want to enter the palace! "After speaking, I got up immediately and left.
Lu Bing ordered to complete the horse and leave immediately.
Sun Quan immediately panicked when he saw the formation, and hurriedly asked Lu Bing: "My lord, my lord! What about me?"
Lu Bing smiled and patted Sun Quan on the shoulder and said, "Boy, you have done a good job! Maybe I have to go back to your house with you. I will visit Huang Duxian and Huang Feier myself! Invite him to Beijing!"
After speaking, Lu Bing said to Zhu Liu: "You take the two to live in my house, and I will come back to drink together tonight!"
After Lu Bing gave his instructions, he immediately left the Thousand Households and headed to the imperial palace.
Lu Bing rushed to the palace, it was almost evening. He counted the time and felt that Emperor Jiajing's meditation should be over, so he hurried to Qianqing Palace.
When I arrived at the gate of Qianqing Palace, I saw Feng Bao and other small eunuchs standing on both sides of the gate, heads down, and vaguely heard the sharp roar of Emperor Jiajing in the palace.
Lu Bing swept around and didn't find Huang Jin, so he asked Feng Bao, "What happened to the emperor?"
Feng Bao looked around, and the other little eunuchs moved away automatically, and then said to Lu Bing, "The military situation in the North... is not good."
Feng Bao didn't speak when he finished speaking.
The eunuch told the foreign official that things in the palace were a capital crime. The emperor would have thought that the foreign officials had set eyeliners in the palace, so Feng Bao's mention of this was already because of Lu Bing's face.
But this is also the reason why Lu Bing is so deeply affected by the holy family, otherwise, Feng Bao would not dare to say much when he killed Feng Bao.
After listening to Feng Bao's reminder, Lu Bing probably understood what was going on, and thought to himself: "This is really sleepy and give me a pillow."
Lu Bing thought about it and walked to the gate of the palace. When he walked to the gate of the palace, he already had some cares in his heart.
