Don't panic when traveling through the late Ming Dynasty, just go to Liangjian and buy a machin

It is said that after Yuan Chonghuan arrived in Shanxi.

The reason was that the bandits needed to be suppressed, but the army lacked food and money.

To the families of local wealthy merchants Fan Yongdou, Wang Dengku, Jin Liangyu, Liang Jiabin, Tian Shenglan, Zhai Tang and Huang Yunfa - the so-called eight major Shanxi merchant families.

There are also many small and medium-sized business families under the Eight Major Shanxi Merchants.

He asked for a large amount of money and food.

Considering that the Guanning Cavalry led by Yuan Chonghuan had outstanding combat effectiveness.

——Of course, this is all thanks to the support from peers!

Shanxi merchants donated generously.

He took out a lot of cash, silver, and food supplies.

Support Yuan Chonghuan's army and establish good relations with Yuan Chonghuan at the same time.

The results of it?

Yuan Chonghuan accepted the benefits.

But after a few days, they would make huge demands on the Shanxi merchants, demanding more silver and food supplies.

This time and twice was okay.

After this happens many times, no matter how rich the Shanxi Merchants Group is.

It can’t stand being made like this!

So in response to the request made by Yuan Chonghuan.

The people from the Shanxi Merchants Group started to make excuses and came up with a bunch of excuses every time.

——Anyway, I just don’t want to spend money, food, or supplies.

Ever since.

Yuan Chonghuan also began to show his fangs.

With the cooperation of Dongchang and Jinyiwei.

They had evidence that the Shanxi merchants had colluded with the enemy, bribed court officials, manipulated local military and political affairs, and exploited the people.

Raised the butcher knife against the Shanxi Merchants Group...

……

Fan family of Shanxi.

When Yuan Chonghuan arrived with his troops.

Fan Yongdou was already waiting outside the Fan family's gate with a group of family guards.

Fan Yongdou: "Sir Yuan, the Fan family is a family of good deeds and has always abided by the law. Many people in the court are well aware of this.

Sir Yuan, you brought troops to surround my Fan family. Sir Yuan, what is your intention? "

A family that accumulates good deeds?

Follow the law?

This guy is just telling lies with open eyes!

I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen someone so shameless!

It turns out that the thickness of these wealthy and powerful families' faces is beyond imagination!

Yuan Chonghuan felt that he wanted greater power and more wealth.

I still need to learn from others in this regard...

"Haha! Fan Yongdou, your Shanxi merchants' collusion with the enemy and betrayal of the country has been exposed! Capture them and kill anyone who dares to resist..."

Following Yuan Chonghuan's order.

People from the Eastern Depot and the Embroidered Uniform Guard, as well as Yuan Chonghuan's men.

Immediately rushed forward.

Fan Yongdou saw this situation.

I knew they were going to get serious about this.

So Fan Yongdou shouted: "Stop them, everyone will be rewarded..."

The servants of the Fan family guard the house.

They are the thugs and assassins trained by the Fan family.

He actually picked up his weapons and started fighting back fearlessly.

Fan Yongdou quickly turned around and ran away.

I thought to myself that it was fortunate that the Fan family had a secret escape passage, otherwise I would not be able to escape this time.

Fan Yongdou didn't care about the lives of others at all.

Run into your study as fast as you can.

Then he opened the entrance to the secret passage, lit the torch and quickly ran into the secret passage...

And at this time the Fan family mansion.

There were cries, screams and sounds of fighting everywhere.

The Eastern Depot, the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and the soldiers under Yuan Chonghuan.

The Fan family’s private soldiers were quickly dealt with.

Then they rushed into the Fan family mansion.

Anyone who dares to resist will be hacked to death immediately.

Those who did not resist were tied up.

Then they started to raid the house...

And Fan Yongdou escaped.

Several other core members of the Fan family also fled into the secret passage.

The few of them finally made it through the long secret passage.

Ran out of the city.

But Fan Yongdou and his men had just come out of the tunnel.

It was found outside the tunnel exit.

A group of soldiers was already waiting for them.

I knew I couldn't escape this time.

"It's all over for me!" Fan Yongdou shouted.

Then he collapsed to the ground helplessly, allowing the soldiers to tie him up...

……

this day.

In addition to the eight major Shanxi merchants, including Fan Yongdou, Wang Dengku, Jin Liangyu, Lan, Zhai Tang and Huang Yunfa.

Dozens of families were also wiped out after their properties were confiscated.

Those were local gentry who were attached to the Eight Major Shanxi Merchants and participated in treasonous activities.

At the same time, there are many local officials who are in cahoots with the Shanxi Merchants Group.

They were also arrested by the Eastern Depot and the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Yuan Chonghuan and his men went on a killing spree in Shanxi.

Then the arrested people were interrogated separately, one of the purposes was to find out more evidence of their crimes.

The second is to "dig out" the hidden wealth of the major families...

After Fan Yongdou and others were arrested.

Only then did I realize that Yuan Chonghuan had been acting.

He acted greedy and kept asking them for money and supplies.

In fact, it was paralyzing the Shanxi merchants and delaying time.

This will give the people from the Eastern Depot and the Embroidered Uniform Guard enough time to secretly investigate the situation of the Shanxi Merchants Group.

And wait until the situation is investigated clearly.

Then there is no need to act anymore...

In fact, it was just as Fan Yongdou expected.

Yuan Chonghuan and his men had already reported the situation to the court before taking action.

Then the Dongchang and Jinyiwei in various places took action together.

Just when Yuan Chonghuan and his men were confiscating property and exterminating the clan.

The capital of the Ming Dynasty, Datong in Shanxi and other places.

People from the Eastern Depot and the Embroidered Uniform Guard also set out.

Take action against the branches of Shanxi Merchants Group in various places and the relevant personnel therein.

And the officials involved.

A lot of people were arrested again...

……

Shang Kexi and his companions were on their way to the Shanxi, Gansu and Shaanxi regions.

Received the news of the demise of the Shanxi Merchants Group.

Then the news was informed to Mao Wenlong through the radio.

Mao Wenlong took a look after receiving the information.

Good guy!

The Shanxi merchant group and officials of all ranks were destroyed.

The search turned out to reveal more than 7000 million taels of silver.

And this is just the amount converted from gold and silver.

If we add in other antiques, calligraphy and paintings, real estate and land, as well as the mountains of various supplies in the warehouse.

The total amount reached about 1.5 million taels of silver.

Emperor Chongzhen made a fortune again.

But Emperor Chongzhen was also in greater danger.

In front of the real aristocratic families, the Shanxi Merchants Group can only be regarded as a younger brother among younger brothers.

Those aristocratic families whose tentacles are everywhere and whose influence is beyond imagination.

They would definitely not allow Chongzhen to continue killing like this.

So the throne of the Ming Dynasty.

I guess someone else will take the seat soon...
