When crossing the sea from Liaodong, Wang Rui seized nearly 100 war horses from Jiannu, and after the transition to the sea, there were more than 80 left. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

After this horse thief attack, Wang Rui began to face up to the problem that he had no cavalry, and determined to build a strong cavalry team.

In this era of alternating hot and cold weapons, compared with the infantry, the cavalry still has a huge advantage in pursuit and charge, mobility and flexibility.

To build a strong cavalry, it is necessary to have a large number of war horses. Although Fushan Qiansuo and Jimo Camp are both far away in Denglai, Shandong, Wang Rui does not think this is a problem. If the windfall profits of glass and mirrors can be realized, Wang Rui thinks that he can solve this problem with money.

Now the best war horses are about thirty taels and one horses, and if I give out sixty or one horses, maybe even the banner owner of Jiannu will jump out and sell the war horse to himself. These fools are more than savages, and if they are profitable, they will do everything they can to sell their mothers into brothels.

Lao Tzu is talking nonsense? This Nurhachi's murder of his son, Dai Shan**, and Dolgon's sister-in-law are recognized by the world, and what else is there to lose their conscience, what can't these barbarians do?

These days, in addition to achieving the purpose of training, Wang Rui earned more than 30,000 taels of silver for the army in front of Fushan and Jimo Battalion. Wang Rui began to use this windfall to buy horses in the surrounding area.

All of a sudden, the rumor that "the garrison officer of the Jimo Battalion is a big fool" quickly spread. A good horse with a market price of twenty or thirty taels of silver, he has to give forty taels and one, he is not a fool, who is a fool?

Not only did the officers of the surrounding guards send their war horses over, but even the good horses of the Fubiao Battalion in Dengzhou, Jinan, were sold a lot by these officers who thought they were smart.

Because Wang Rui was very generous and friendly to the people who sent the horses over, he never owed silver taels or bargained, and even sold more than ten horses, and this "fool egg" Lord Wang would also send a few taels of silver on the return trip.

All of a sudden, traders from all over the world took action, looking for horses everywhere to earn money from Wang Rui, a "fool".

After Zhang Er reported back the situation he had spied on, Wang Rui laughed: "Haha! Lao Tzu actually became a fool in the eyes of everyone! Zhang Er, tell me, is Lao Tzu a fool? ”

"This, this ......" Zhang Er squeaked for a long time, and finally didn't dare to say why.

He walked in the dark, in Wang Rui's words, to do dirty work for the entire army, seemingly obscure, but in fact he was extremely powerful. He also knew that this kind of power came from Lord Wang's trust, and he didn't feel that he had more great abilities than others, all he had was loyalty to Wang Rui and loyalty to the Fushan Army.

Wang Rui asked like this, he didn't dare to tell a lie, and he didn't dare to tell the truth, so he had to squeak and not answer.

"Haha! You kid don't dare to say it. Yes, it looks like I'm stupid now! In a year or two, everyone will know who the fuck is the fool! Wang Rui said with a confident smile.

Wang Rui was talking to Zhang Er, Xiong Wenjie came in to report that there was a Shanxi businessman who was out asking to see him.

"Shanxi businessmen?! There are actually Shanxi businessmen coming? Let him in. Wang Rui was also surprised when he heard that a Shanxi businessman asked to see him.

He couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that my butterfly wings fanned to Shanxi in the north?

"The villain Fan Fu, the shopkeeper of Shanxi Fan's firm in Dengzhou, has seen the garrison! Congratulations to your Excellency! A middle-aged businessman with a slightly chubby figure and a loyal face greeted Wang Rui with a smile on his face.

As he spoke, the man also offered a gift of one hundred taels of silver wrapped in red cloth.

"Fan's firm?" Wang Rui had a wit in his heart, could it be that a traitor came to the door?

The news spread so fast! Not long after I arrived at Jimo Camp to take office, he came to congratulate him? It seems that these Shanxi traitor businessmen at the end of the Ming Dynasty are really not simple.

Wang Rui was also not polite, and ordered someone to accept the gift money, and then said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Fan is polite!" Rejoice and rejoice! ”

While speaking, Wang Rui ordered the guards to bring up tea, and he was quite polite to this shopkeeper.

In Wang Rui's mind, as long as it is beneficial to his own development, he will not mind who sent the money from.

When he rises strongly, it's not too late to kill all these traitor businessmen!" Sugar-coated cannonballs"? Sugar-coated first, cannonballs, Lao Tzu will fight back then! Wang Rui smiled wickedly in his heart.

The two of them said a few more words. Wang Rui saw that this person was extremely calm, and his speech and demeanor were very decent, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised in his heart. At the same time, he muttered in his heart, is this person the big traitor Fan Yongdou's family?

Because of these traitor businessmen at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the so-called "Eight Emperor Merchants" (of course, this is sealed by the Manchu Tartars, and it is impossible to count), what Wang Rui can remember in his impression is the notorious Fan Yongdou and a few others.

Fan Yongdou, ancestral home in Jiexiu, Shanxi. Zhangjiakou, who lived in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, was clearly called by historians of the past dynasties as "the traitorous male of the Jin merchants in the late Ming Dynasty, the military rations and salaries required for the turnover of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the direct introduction of the Qing soldiers, which was really the scum of the Han nation at that time."

As early as the early years of the Ming Dynasty, the Fan family did business in Zhangjiakou and Mongolia, after seven generations, it was passed to Fan Yongdou to become a wealthy Han merchant in Zhangjiakou area to Manchu and Mongolian trade.

Later, the Manchu slaves living in the northeast began to expand militarily, and due to the hostile relationship with the Ming Dynasty, the military and living materials they needed could only be obtained through the trade market in Zhangjiakou, that is, they used Zhangjiakou as a base to run in the past.

It was at this time that Fan Yongdou and the other seven merchants began to do this traitorous deed, constantly transfusing blood for foreign barbarians. Of course, they also sold looted goods on behalf of the Jurchens. "Currency with Liaozuo, long-term faithfulness".

According to the "Wanquan County Chronicles" in the Daoguang period of the puppet Manchu Qing Dynasty, it is recorded: "The eight merchants are all from the right side of the mountain, and they came to Zhangjiakou with trade at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Said: Wang Dengku, Jin Liangyu, Fan Yongdou, Wang Dayu, Liang Jiabin, Tian Shenglan, Zhai Tang, Huang Yongfa, from the current dynasty Longxing Liaozuo, sent people to the city to change, all of these eight masters. ”

Therefore, it can be seen that none of the Shanxi merchants in this era are clean. It's all fucking traitors and traitors!

Because the eight traitor merchants contributed to the establishment of the Barbarian Qing Dynasty, after the Manchu Qing invaded and occupied the Central Plains, the puppet Shunzhi of Jiannu did not forget the eight traitor merchants who had established great achievements for the invasion of the Central Plains.

He not only held banquets and entertained them in the Forbidden City, gave them clothing, but also gave them official rewards. The eight traitor merchants were flattered and tried their best to refuse. As a result, Jiannu pseudo-Shunzhi named them "Imperial Merchants" (subordinate to the Ministry of Internal Affairs).

Among them, the big traitor Fan Yongdou was ordered to preside over trade affairs and "give Zhangjiakou as the world's business". The other seven also have their own rewards.

Although, the demise of the Ming Dynasty, the most upright central dynasty of the Han nation, was multifaceted. But these traitor businessmen in Shanxi did play a very disgraceful role in the middle. It is not an exaggeration to say that each of their copper and silver ingots is soaked in the blood of their own countrymen.

Wang Rui remembered that later historians had a very fair comment: "The Ming Dynasty died in the barbarian Qing Dynasty, the reason for this is that the root lies in the negligence of political affairs, too leniency with the scholars, too strict with the common people, the rise of the merchants, no profit and no early, no country and nation in the heart, only the income of the square inch, the fan traitor fights forever, the people of the Ming Kingdom, the Miao descendants of the Han Dynasty, but when the national war is in the country, he does not seek to benefit the country and a dime, but rebuilds the faith of the slaves, and does not pay attention to the survival of the Han people!" There is no one who only cares about the selfishness of the family and forgets the righteousness for small profits. If Jiannu has no iron weapons, how can it rise so quickly? It is really to send sharp blades and enemies, and the beginning of the ten days of Jiading's three massacres in Yangzhou began with the hands of such traitor businessmen, although it is difficult to eliminate this hatred for eternity. ”

"Adult, the villain came this time, but it was... Fan Fu saw that Wang Rui was a little distracted, so he smiled and put down the teacup and reminded softly.

"Oh, I'm distracted, don't blame Shopkeeper Fan. I don't know if your owner is Fan Yongdou Fan's rich man? Wang Rui was not afraid of being reckless, and asked directly.

"Exactly! Do you know my owner's name? Fan Fu was also surprised.

Wang Ruixin said: Lao Tzu not only knows his name, but also knows all the bad things that you bastards have done!

Although Wang Rui cursed in his heart, what appeared on his face was a full look of admiration, and he only heard Wang Rui say: "The Fan family on the right side of the mountain, Jia Yu in the border city, is committed to faithfulness." Your owner is famous all over the world, how can you not know? ”

Fan Fu traveled south and north, and he also saw a lot of people, although Wang Rui was a martial artist, he was not a rough man, no wonder he could make that water mirror and exquisite glass products.

When he thought of this, he attached a little more importance to Wang Rui in his heart.
