At the end of the Ming Dynasty, with the rise of the Later Jin Dynasty, the wars continued, and the people in the north suffered greatly from the war, and in Shanxi, where the Later Jin Dynasty bordered the Ming Dynasty, there were some unscrupulous merchants who not only did not suffer losses, but made a fortune and grabbed more wealth.

The situation of the war for the Ming Dynasty and the Houjin Dynasty is different, the Ming Dynasty has a vast area, and the northern border has encountered fire, but there is still income in other places, there are people and food, and the Houjin place is small, there are many soldiers, and the productivity is also backward, the old wild boar skin is not not want to engage in construction, but his subordinates are not in addition to fighting and hunting, and they don't know anything about farming and iron. To make matters worse, natural disasters continue year after year, and food and clothing have become the biggest problem. According to records, since the "Xiaoice River period" that began in the Wanli years, the CPI has soared. At that time, although the population of the Houjin rule was only 700,000, the people were easy to eat, and the price of rice was as high as 801 taels of stone, and the cloth cost 221 horses.

Unscrupulous businessmen take a fancy to this, as Han Chinese, regardless of the hatred of their family and country, and wantonly fund the enemy!

Based in Zhangjiakou, they collected commodities from all over the country, and then traveled back and forth to inside and outside the Guanxi to engage in trade activities, and delivered a large number of basic daily necessities such as grain, clothing, and cooking utensils to the Later Jin regime. Nurhachi did not treat them badly, and exchanged ginseng, deer antlers, animal skins and other valuables to the other party, which made these profiteers very happy.

Gradually, the two sides established a deep relationship of interests, and Nurhachi, who attached great importance to espionage warfare, expanded the trade between the two sides from food and clothing to intelligence. According to the record of "Qing Shilu", in the third year of the Mandate of Heaven (1618), there were 16 traders in Fushun from Shandong, Shanxi, Hedong, Hexi, Suzhou and Hangzhou.

In the third year of Jin Chongde (1637), Huang Taiji ordered the Manchu nobles to lead 100 Han merchants from the interior to carry goods to Guihua City for trade. In this regard, Zu Kefa and Zhang Cunren, who participated in the politics of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, once suggested: "Shandong is the way of grain transportation, Shanxi is the way of businessmen, and it is urgent to appease them. This shows how much attention the Later Jin regime attached to unscrupulous businessmen in Shanxi and Shandong. All the gunpowder, eighty percent of the grain, and more than sixty percent of the metal needed for Huang Taiji's war machine came from the Jin merchants who were "honest" to the sky.

It was a win-win deal for both sides, and it was through commerce that Houjin was able to turn looted goods, antiques, and gold and silver into food to feed the hundreds of people who had been taken captive. The price of rice in Liaodong eventually dropped to 124 stones, the population increased several times, but the price of grain was pressed to a few hundredths of the peak. The unscrupulous businessman on the other side of the transaction only stored tens of millions of silver taels in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen.

The ugly traitorous face borrowed a phrase from later generations: "You buy the goods of the Wei people, and let the money earned by the Wei people turn into bullets to beat the Chinese!" ”

……

Yan Da rarely has an intelligence bureau, and has collected some accusations of unscrupulous businessmen (not a lot, after all, the intelligence bureau is not omnipotent, but it is conclusive), and he confessed it.

Yuan Chonghuan was so angry that his eyes were split, he was bleeding and sweating here, but he was eating and crawling outside, think about it, the Jurchens robbed the gold and silver of the Ming people, and then handed them over to the unscrupulous merchants to buy the grain, iron, and gunpowder of the Ming Dynasty, and beat them back to the Ming Dynasty!

What to do?

This is not about Yan Changwu, but he knows that Lao Yuan definitely has a headache.

Everyone understands that the unscrupulous merchants will not get the silver for their own use, they will buy the local government, border generals, and finally the ministers of the DPRK and China to provide them with a protective umbrella.

Speak right, those people are "staunch patriots!" "They are definitely the first to talk about patriotism, but they smile happily at the silver fished out of the blood of the people of the Ming Dynasty!

What should you do if you want to deal with this chain of interests?

Pull them up, but Yuan Chonghuan Yuan can't do it, he may be dealing with the cabinet of the current dynasty, a high-ranking official than the prime minister!

Up to now, Yan Changwu knows that there is really a lot of helplessness in life!

How to deal with the Jurchens? How to fight in the field? How to deal with the Jurchens to attack by detour?

How to deal with Mao Wenlong?

How to deal with those with vested interests who have betrayed the country?

Does Yuan Chonghuan really have the ability to turn the tide?

"All I can say is, I did my best!" There is a weak heart, Yan Changwu said silently.

Don't look at him dominating the southeast sea, but when he arrives on the mainland, he is a crocodile ashore, and other lions and leopards bite him to death in minutes!

"I, after all, haven't turned into a dragon yet!" Yan Changwu has this realization, he must work hard!

The golden scales are not the things in the pool, and they will turn into dragons when they encounter wind and clouds!

"The mainland is coming, and the sea will also rise, and I will finally be able to soar for nine days!" Yan Changwu silently cheered himself up.

……

Yuan Chonghuan was in a bad mood, and Yan Changwu said goodbye with interest.

If you have an understanding, this is the benefit of "traveling thousands of miles is better than reading thousands of books".

In the southeast province, everything is according to plan, and when you go outside, you know that the outside world is very vast!

In fact, he led to the theory of "peace talks with the Jurchens", and he wanted to pretend to be peace envoys and go to the Jurchen territory to see those historical celebrities: Huang Taiji, Dolgon, Azig, Daishan......

Of course, there is a danger, after all, I don't know who those barbarians are, and there is a great danger of going there "by the end of the whole play".

If you have the opportunity to visit this world, what can you do without being coquettish?

However, the son of a daughter can't sit down!

Chen Xinji, CEO of Southeast Mansion, said unreasonably: "The boss can go crazy, but you can't go upside down!" ”

This is said to the guards, anyway, the boss is in trouble, and the guards are guilty!

The guards scolded in their hearts: "You crazy old boy! ”

A small crime is a small crime, a big crime is a big crime, and the guards are all guilty to beheading.

It's okay to run away, even the Nine Clans!

The whole country is chasing and killing, but the Russians have an intelligence bureau, and the intelligence bureau has a wet place!

For everyone's safety, Yan Changwu had no choice but not to take risks.

There will be an opportunity to meet in the future, either they will be in battle, or they will become prisoners of labor and management!

……

On the second day of the school parade, Yuan Chonghuan invited Yan Changwu to the campus in the north of the city to watch the drill together.

He talked and laughed freely, as if the heavy topic of last night had not affected him.

Yan Changwu borrowed a set of robes of a two-rank military general to attend, and went to the parade platform with Yuan Chonghuan.

Two thousand people were dispatched, their clothes and armor were half old and not new, but they were quite spiritual, Yan Changwu was also leading the troops, and he praised them when he saw them.

Only veterans have such a strong spirit!

The team strode in, and the mountain shouted "Daming is mighty", and the murderous spirit was soaring, and ordinary people, etc., were already frightened to the point of turning white.

Ning Yuanjun's high-ranking officials looked at the young guest, not only were they unmoved, but they were also a little excited, and they all nodded secretly, and looked at him even higher.
