Li Tianyang's request is actually very simple, it is just to make the Fan firm give up its revenge on Hongmen, as for the specific way to act, it depends on their Fan firm.

On the one hand, the net worth and life of his own family, and on the other hand, the common advance and retreat with his allies, in fact, it is already very clear where to go in the end.

When the Fan firm, which was originally the backbone, suddenly proposed to withdraw from the revenge against Hongmen, the loose alliance of the entire northern merchants was in an uproar.

The reason why the withdrawal of Fan's firm caused an uproar among the northern firms was not only because their strength was one of the best among the northern firms, but also because the sudden withdrawal of the other party made the merchants feel a kind of betrayal and suspicion behind this series of things.

Suspicion is correct, the previous series of actions, in fact, are led by several major families in Jinzhong led by the big businessmen, now the Fan business suddenly withdrew, who can not doubt that they were actively operating before, encouraging everyone to fight against Hongmen, and now when everyone has suffered heavy losses, they have to stop fighting?

Although the hands and feet of several major families of the Jin merchants are actually not clean, but like this kind of betrayal of the interests of the Ming Dynasty and profiting from the seizure of the family and the extermination of the family, everyone can only understand, but can never take it out explicitly, let alone many other small and medium-sized families who do not know the Heels of the Fan family.

The Fan family stabbed everyone in the back this time, but it made cracks appear in everyone's loose alliance, and all kinds of distrustful thoughts spread among the Jin merchants, and the actions in retaliating against Hongmen were naturally a little cautious, and at the same time a little slower.

Although he was disgusted with the behavior of the Jin merchants to gain capital and enemies, at the beginning, Li Tianyang only thought that he could be alone, and did not think about the intention of opposing the Qing Dynasty, which might become the lord of the Central Plains in the future.

Of course, Li Tianyang did not quietly leak some news to the imperial court officials in private, but most of the news was lost in the sea without any waves; A small number of middle-level officials made a move, but they were stopped in the blink of an eye by the order issued by the central center.

Since these cabinet ministers of the Ming Dynasty were not worried about themselves, Li Tianyang would naturally no longer do thankless things that were likely to anger the Qing people.

And now that Li Tianyang is determined to come to the fore and want to compete for the position of the co-ruler of the world, then the important assistants of the Jin merchants, who are relied on by the Qing Dynasty people, have naturally become Li Tianyang's target.

At the beginning, Li Tianyang's plan was to send the elite of the special operations battalion into the border of eastern Liaodong, and cooperate with them to buy the soldiers of the border army who were planted in the Jin Dynasty, so that they could not only consume the opponent's vital strength, but also loot materials to expand themselves.

However, this plan was soon rejected by his secretary group and others, compared to the strength of the Jin merchants and the Qing people on the border of Liaodong, the foundation strength of Hongmen on this side is still too weak; Moreover, the Jiusan Hongmen looted and attacked one or two batches of materials transported by the Jin merchants, but the wounds were insignificant to the entire Jin merchant smuggling group, and the vast territory of the eastern Liaodong border and the powerful Jin merchant group were not something that a special combat battalion could handle.

As for leaking this news directly to the top cabinet of the Ming Dynasty, let them deal with this group of traitors who are making a fortune in the country, although it can give the Qing people a major blow, but this is not good for Hongmen, and Li Tianyang, who has always been extremely sensitive to interests, is unwilling.

Therefore, this led to the grand layout of the previous business war in Yuegang, and then involved so many and such tortuous things.

However, at this time, Li Tianyang suddenly broke out the account books of the Fan firm that he had long mastered for smuggling and transporting various embargoed materials to Shengjing in Liaodong, and the roster of buying border officers and soldiers for the Qing people, and threw them to the Fan firm, the purpose of which was actually very simple, that is, to prepare to break up the originally close regional alliance of the other party from within the Jin merchants.

At the same time, the same set of account books and lists are being quickly transported to the capital, ready to be delivered directly to the imperial cabinet and the Jinyi Wei Factory Gong.

This is Li Tianyang's backhand, the benefits due in the early stage have been obtained, and then these Jin merchants will have no value, at least in Li Tianyang's opinion, there is no benefit, so turn around and sell them to the imperial court, which can not only hit the Qing people, but also reduce a lot of trouble for themselves.

What Li Tianyang needs to do next is to get the advantage he can take advantage of before the imperial court takes action against the northern merchants whose account books are recorded in the Fan family, which is the right reason.

The Fujian governor Yamen finally made a move, and Guan Juxiong took the contract signed by the northern merchants with the foreigners and the eastern Japanese merchants, and when he could not open the situation for a long time, let these merchants compensate, he sued all these businesses to the government with a complaint.

If you really want to fight for the strength to occupy the shops, warehouses and other important materials of these firms, it can be said that it is easy to use Hongmen's strength in Fujian. However, it is precisely because it is easy that in the Hongmen Qixintang, which occupies the upper hand in legal theory, it is even more necessary to put on a posture of acting in accordance with the law and handling it in accordance with the regulations, so as to further establish the image of Hongmen's fairness and justice in the hearts of the public.

At the same time, this matter can also promote the attention of the people of Jiangnan to the spirit of the contract, although there are all kinds of tooth contracts in this era, but it is a small number of people who can really implement these tooth contracts seriously.

The powerful have made a tooth deed, and others dare not violate it; Even if a lonely person signs a tooth deed, even if someone else breaches the contract, they can at most find someone else to theorize, or find a villager to adjust, and when they encounter someone else's cheating, there is really no good way to deal with it.

And Hongmen asked the government to come forward to start a lawsuit this time, and made the matter a topic for everyone to talk about after dinner, and everyone was laughing, but also paid more attention to things like contracts again.

Of course, this is also inseparable from the principle of the government's fair and strict handling, when Li Tianyang transferred the account books of various collusions between the Fan family and other northern firms and the Jurchens to Xiao Yifu Futai, Xiao Yifu, who had maintained a basically neutral attitude before, then had a huge change in his attitude.

"A swarm of moths!! Moth!!! ”

Xiao Yifu is a literati who has studied hard for ten years, and his self-restraint at the moral level is much higher than that of ordinary people, although he may not be loyal to the country when the country is in crisis, but if he can, he will not watch these misguided people still appear in his jurisdiction.
