Qianqing Palace, Winter Warm Pavilion, and the Jin Merchants Task Force were all present except for the personnel who went out on business, and Wang Chengen, the factory supervisor, was reporting on the situation of the Jin Merchants.

"Emperor Yu, the warehouses and shops of Jin merchants in Linqing, Tongzhou, Tianjin and other places have been figured out, and they can be arrested at any time.

Only the nest of Shanxi Jin merchants is operating well, and the local government is complicit with them, which is quite tricky.

If they are cleared by one family, although they are distributed in different state capitals, they are not far from each other, and there is a risk of leakage, allowing them to escape.

At the same time, Jinyiwei has a lot of manpower, which is really a dilemma! ”

It should be said that after more than a month, thousands of Jinyi guards went to different state capitals, and they had already lifted the bottom of the Jin merchants.

Warehouses, shops, fields, real estate, and the location of each Jin merchant owner are all under control.

As the saying goes, everything is ready only to owe the east wind, waiting for the Ming court to reap the fruits of victory.

However, because of the invasion of the Tatars, things have changed a little.

If all the Jin Shang families could not be taken down at the same time, these grandsons would definitely run to the Jiannu army to seek refuge, which would be a fly in the ointment.

Although the property and fields can't run, if they can't be brought to justice, how can Emperor Chongzhen be willing?

"This matter is easy!" Wang Chengen finished reporting the matter, and when everyone in the hall was thinking about countermeasures, Emperor Chongzhen waved his dragon robe and said with a smile.

"I personally led the Yongwei battalion to various parts of Shanxi to arrest the Jin merchants, and the Jinyi guards coerced the case and counted the property."

Everyone's eyes lit up, this method is good, killing two birds with one stone.

It is no longer disputed that His Majesty wants to recruit in person.

But as close ministers around them, Wang Chengen, Liu Wenyao, Gong Yonggu and others are actually very worried.

The battlefield is unpredictable, and no one knows what will happen?

However, if it is only to arrest Jin Shang, then there is no risk.

Moreover, it can also satisfy His Majesty's idea of driving in person.

"Emperor Shengming, there is no last resort, the old slave admires!"

Wang Chengen squinted his smiling face, deeply afraid that Emperor Chongzhen would change his mind, and hurriedly blocked the words.

Liu Wenyao, Gong Yonggu and others also reported the same thoughts, and they all patted the dragon's fart, and said that with His Majesty's departure, the court will no longer have to worry about food and salary in the future!

Emperor Chongzhen knew a lot about their thoughts and was slightly moved.

They are all the most loyal and loyal people who care about me the most, and they really think about what he thinks and are anxious about what he is anxious about.

The plan has been decided, and Emperor Chongzhen ordered the Yongwei battalion to prepare immediately and set off overnight that night.

At the same time, the cabinet team that got the news also hurried from the Wenyuan Pavilion duty room to ask to see Emperor Chongzhen.

They could never have imagined that His Majesty would be so resolute and resolute, and he would leave as soon as he said it, which caught people off guard.

"Your Majesty, do you want the imperial court to announce the matter of the imperial conquest to the world?"

Wen Tiren, who came in a hurry, hurriedly asked without waiting to sit down.

It's not that he's in a hurry, it's really weird!

Unlike the simple Lao Wang and others, Wen Tiren is thoughtful, suspicious, and cunning like a fox.

His Majesty even has a spare tire ready for the royal expedition, how can it be as simple as just going to arrest Jin Shang?

However, he couldn't ask His Majesty directly, what do you want to do with your old man?

Because of this, he could only tactfully tempt.

"Not yet!"

Sure enough, Wen Tiren chuckled in his heart, glanced at the other cabinet members, and once again tentatively said to Emperor Chongzhen, who seemed a little absent-minded:

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Expedition can boost the morale of the army, unite the hearts of the courtiers, and inspire the people, why not announce it to the world in time?"

This is too naked.

Emperor Chongzhen came back to his senses, stared at the white-haired Wen Tiren under the brim of his hat, and replied leisurely: "The time is not ripe!" ”

"What arrangements Your Majesty has, I don't know if I can inform Wechen, so that the Ministry of War can make countermeasures and cooperate with Your Majesty's actions."

Yang Sichang, the secretary of the military department, asked cautiously by taking advantage of the reason.

At the same time, his heart was about to collapse.

What's the matter?

His Majesty drove the expedition in person, and did not hold a ceremony to announce it to the world; Second, the whereabouts of the cabinet courtiers are not known; 3. Don't prepare food and salary for the household......

"All of you are relieved, I have my own measure!"

Faced with the temptation of several cabinet ministers, Emperor Chongzhen simply made the matter clear and waved his hand to prevent them from continuing to ask.

"Nature, nature."

Wen Tiren kept nodding his head, but said in his mouth: "It's just that Your Majesty is concerned about the safety of the world, and it is related to the Ming Dynasty, don't take risks!" ”

Wen Tiren's words obviously did not believe Emperor Chongzhen.

In fact, it's no wonder that Wen Tiren is like this, others are old and sophisticated, and they understand that the more they hide and tuck, the more they hold back their magnifying moves!

"I understand that Wen Aiqing doesn't need to worry."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, with a look of relief.

It's just that the perfunctory meaning is too obvious.

"Oh, that's great!"

Wen Tiren replied in a deep voice.

His Majesty insisted that as a subordinate, he could not rely on the old man to continue to ask questions.

It's just that he squinted his eyes and looked at Emperor Chongzhen's resolute face, and felt that he couldn't understand His Majesty more and more.

Speaking of which, based on Wen Tiren's past understanding, although His Majesty's personality is easy to get angry and irritable, he is generally very calm, behaves in a decent manner, and will not go off the rails.

But now?

It's just a different person, wow!

The royal driver personally conscripted, punished the nobles, cleared the Jin merchants, Ling Chi Jiannu, and killed the zodiac Zhou......

One by one, one by one, which one does not need great courage and perseverance in order to be decisive and not afraid of people's words, in order to persevere?

If Your Majesty had done this earlier, the situation would not have been like this!

I really can't understand Your Majesty!

Not to mention Wen Tiren's emotion, a hundred miles away, Jiexiu Fan Mansion.

The night was deep and quiet.

But in Fan's mansion, the arm-thick candle flame was burning, and the servants and maids were very busy. There was a sense of panic in everyone's expressions.

The sky is falling!

The Fan family is falling!

No, it's the Jin merchants who are going to fall!

Fan Yongdou contacted other Jin merchants in Pingyao, Yuci, and Taigu through contact, and finally found that the situation was really not good.

Like the Fan family, the other Jin merchants were scattered in other parts of the Ming Dynasty, and the contact was cut off.

It's happened!

The Ming Dynasty must have discovered that they had fornicated with slaves.

Therefore, the Jin merchants in Shanxi discussed and moved their families to Zhangjiakou first.

The reason why I moved to Zhangjiakou was because it was easy to escape.

Zhangjiakou is located at the junction of Beijing, Jin and Mongolia, bordering the capital in the east, Datong in the west, and the Mongolian grassland in the north, which is an important transportation channel in the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, it is also the base camp of Jin merchants.

Every year, Jin merchants set off from here and detoured to Mongolia to smuggle and build slaves.

And the most important thing is that now Zhangjiakou has been temporarily occupied by Jiannu and belongs to behind enemy lines.
