Since Zhu Youzhen's return to Beijing, economic sanctions against the Jurchens have begun.

Zhu Youzhen issued an edict to the Ming Dynasty, Beijing, and 13 provinces, strictly prohibiting the export of grain, ironware, salt, cloth, and other materials to the Jurchens.

In the more than a month since the implementation of this policy, Jinyiwei has investigated and dealt with more than 20 cases of business and trade with the enemy, half of which are from Shanxi.

In the Qing court drama in his previous life, Zhu Youzhen watched a lot, and he was clear about the problems of the imperial merchants.

Shanxi Fan, Wang, Jin, Wang, Liang, Tian, Zhai, Huang and other eight families, since the rise of the Jurchen in Liaodong, have carried out smuggling trade with them, and it has been more than ten years.

He bought all kinds of materials from the Ming Dynasty at a low price, smuggled them to the Jurchens at a high price, and finally exchanged them for the gold and silver they looted from the Ming Dynasty, and also sold other artifacts looted by the Jurchens.

For more than ten years, relying on this trade chain stained with the blood of the Ming people, the eight families have accumulated huge wealth.

If you want to sleep, someone will hand you a pillow, and Zhu Youzhen will naturally laugh at these riches.

A week after ventilating with Lu Xiangsheng, a thousand new troops and a hundred martial arts students quietly set off from the Xishan camp.

He was accompanied by officers from the Intelligence Department of the Brocade Guard, who were responsible for providing information and helping to train scouts for the Forces nouvelles.

Although the dispatch of troops this time was to carry out the task of raiding the house, Lu Xiangsheng completely followed the requirements of wartime, not only did he have to carry weapons and equipment, grain, grass and military supplies with the army, but he also camped in the field.

In order not to startle the snake, this operation was also top secret, and except for Lu Xiangsheng, sergeants at all levels thought that this dispatch was an ultra-long-distance exercise.

It was not until the whole army came to the outside of Jiexiu City, Shanxi Province, that Lu Xiangsheng gave a military briefing, and then the officers at all levels gave detailed explanations of the combat tasks in turn, until each soldier was clear about his duties.

After hearing that the exercise had turned into a real battle of swords and guns, the sergeants geared up to test the results of their training over the past six months.

Shanxi Jiexiu, the hometown of Fan Yongdou, the head of the eight families, according to Jinyiwei's early reconnaissance, most of the Fan family's assets are stored in the old mansion of the Fan family in the city.

The old mansion of the Fan family is a large mansion with three cross-courtyards and six entrances before and after, which is larger than the Xinwang Mansion where Zhu Youzhen lived before he ascended the throne, and in order to guard this expensive family fund, the Fan family has recruited more than 300 people.

The Fan family was in the smuggling business, and Lu Xiangsheng didn't expect them to be arrested, so at the beginning of the operation, he sent 500 soldiers to take Zhu Youzhen's holy decree and take over the four city gates in the name of investigating the Jurchen spies in the city.

After making sure that the city gate was in his hands, Lu Xiangsheng led the rest of the troops into the city.

But as soon as he walked to the city gate, he met Yu Wanshui, the righteous Jiexiu Zhixian County.

"Lord Lu, what do you mean by this?"

Seeing Lu Xiangsheng wearing the armor of a military general, Yu Wanshui was a little disapproving, the Ming Dynasty emphasized literature and suppressed martial arts for a long time, that is, a garrison of the fifth grade saw the civil official of the seventh grade, and he had to salute first, otherwise the big hat that was arrogant and rude and had no one in his eyes was worn.

Yu Wanshui had already known from the previous sergeant that the leader of the team today was a five-rank official.

Looking at Lu Xiangsheng's full uniform, Yu Wanshui instinctively thought that it was just a five-grade guard.

"Ordered to investigate and prosecute the spies."

Regarding this somewhat arrogant Qipin County Order, although Lu Xiangsheng felt a little underwhelmed, he still had good cultivation, so he still replied with a businesslike attitude.

But it was this business-like attitude that made Yu Wanshui angry.

A mere five-grade garrison was so rude, Lu Xiangsheng hadn't had a seizure yet, Yu Wanshui had a seizure first.

"Jiexiu has no spies, Master Lu can go back to his life."

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he was instantly stunned, what the hell, didn't you read the holy decree just now? That's how you, the county official, fooled the emperor's orders.

The soldiers are fast, no matter how good Lu Xiangsheng's cultivation is, he can't help it at this time, and when he was about to read the holy decree to the county order again, he was stopped by a person next to him.

Regarding the difficulty of this county order, Zheng Jun of the Jinyi Wei Intelligence Department has a different opinion.

After Zheng Qianhu signaled Lu Xiangsheng not to read the holy decree, he reached out and took out his waist card.

"Jinyi Wei Qianhu Zheng Jun, who was ordered to arrest the Jurchen spies, now suspects that Lord Yu is suspected of covering up the Jurchen spies, so he will be detained first."

As soon as Zheng Qianhu's words fell, Yu Wanshui sat down on the ground, and his previous arrogance disappeared in an instant, and the word "wronged" was left in his mouth.

In the civil official group of the Ming Dynasty, Jinyiwei's reputation is really not covered.

Subsequently, two brocade guards stepped forward and detained Wan Shui.

After cleaning up the obstacles, Lu Xiangsheng quickly surrounded the Fan family's old house with more than 500 soldiers.

With the scene in front of the city gate, the old mansion of the Fan family, which had a ghost in his heart, was already closed with doors and windows, and put on a posture of being ready for battle.

Because the important hub of the trade chain with the Jurchens is in Xuanfu, Fan Yongdou is not often in Jiexiu's hometown, and it is his second son Fan Chengyin who is in charge of the old mansion.

When the city gate was closed before, Fan Chengyin had already learned the content of the holy decree through the dark line of the county government, and Fan Chengyin, who had a ghost in his heart, ordered the whole mansion to close the door and thank the guests, and sent his personal servant to the Xuanfu to report the news.

Seeing the closed gate of the Fan Mansion, Lu Xiangsheng already knew about the leak, so naturally he was not in the mood to fight with the Fan family again.

Then he ordered the artillery company to drag a small cannon, and when the three cannons went down, the gate of Fan's Mansion was opened, and more than 300 well-trained soldiers of the New Army rushed in instantly.

In a quarter of an hour, the battle was over.

The new army has made sufficient preparations for the possible street fighting, not only simulating exercises many times, but also equipped with large black powder grenades for street fighting.

The black powder grenade is imitated by Bi Maokang according to the modern grenade provided by Zhu Youzhen, although the detonation method of pulling the friction cannot be realized, but the open flame detonation can still be done after receiving the fuse, the only flaw is that it is a little big.

With the help of the shocking effect of the platoon guns and grenades, after capturing the front yard, the rest of the courtyard was captured.

No matter how high the commission given by the Fan family is, it has to be a fateful flower, and the nurses see this very clearly.

The family members of the paradigm who were about to escape over the wall, after a round of guns from the New Army soldiers blocking the wall gave up this idea.

The musket is not as good as the bow and arrow knife gun, and it is unlikely that you will die with a knife and arrow, but the musket is different, and if you are hit by a 15.7 mm caliber lead bullet, even if it is not a vital part, the possibility of living is not hit.

Moreover, the kinetic energy of lead bullet is much greater than that of bows, arrows, knives and guns, and the cavity effect of lead bullets can make people lose their ability to act instantly.

In the era of cold weapons, where can the cruelty of the hot weapon fight, when they see half of their companions' heads that were cut off in an instant, they all became amiable.
