Chapter 57: Dead

Unlike the Mongols, the Jurchens not only wanted the grain and cloth, cotton, cattle and sheep of the Ming Dynasty, but also coveted the land of the Ming Dynasty. The Jurchens are a fishing and hunting people, after a long period of development, they have become a mixture of fishing, hunting and farming, and the thirst for land is incomprehensible to those men who herd horses in the north, just a few decades before the rise of Nuerhachi, Wang Gao, who was also the Ministry of Jianzhou, found a lot of trouble for the Ming Dynasty, and what he wanted was to break into the border wall of the eastern Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty, grab the eastern Liaodong Liaozhong and southern Liaoning, and put a large area of plain black soil into his own pocket. The total number of men they have fallen is not as large as the Liaodong garrison, so they also have the ambition to annex Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty, and it has been passed down from generation to generation, which can only be described as commendable in spirit.

In the era of Wang Gao, it was Li Chengliang's prime, and he often took thousands of cavalry to take away the chickens and dogs that the northern captives beat, and the Jurchens were not a problem, and they were cleaned up and subdued by dividing five by two, and the grandfather and father of Nuer Hachi's seven hatreds were killed by the Ming army, which was an accident that occurred when Li Chengliang led his troops to conquer the Wang Gao tribe.

If it weren't for these past events, Zhang Chengyin would not have taken more than 10,000 people to fight the Jurchens, the intelligence is unknown, the number of the Jurchen army is unknown, and the commander's strategy is unknown.

What happened at the end of April only reached Datong in May, and it took a few more days for Zhang Han to copy a reliable copy from Deputy Envoy Zheng, and then put it on hold for a few days after Zhang Chun put it here, no wonder he only learned about it in early June.

As for the Fan family, who has a wider network, and Ning Yicheng, an official, must have known the news earlier than Zhang Han, it is conceivable that the Fan family's enthusiasm for smuggling business has now reached a higher level...... The worse Liaodong fights, the stronger and bigger the Jurchen's territory, the stricter the Ming Dynasty's control over the border trade, and now the horse market in Liaodong has all stopped, and Xuanda will also strictly control it sooner or later, this time will not exceed a year, layout in advance, control the smuggling route, this must be the focus of Fan Jia and Ning Yicheng's work.

From this point on, Ning Yicheng and the Fan family plus the Zhou family brothers, this matter is even strung together.

Liang Xing said: "Proprietor, I will take a few people at night, beat that Li Mingda, and then burn their branch." ”

Liang Hong glanced at his nephew and said, "How about the Zhou brothers?" If this matter is not resolved, you move Li Mingda and the Fan family first, isn't this a startling snake? Besides, although we have something to do with Lai Shenjiang, the relationship between Lai Shenjiang and Ning Yicheng is really iron, let's move the Fan family, what should Ning Yicheng do? Besides, the Fan family has semicolons in various places, and they all have connections with local officials, and we also have people, but if we continue to fight like this, most of the losses will be us. If people don't make a move, we take the initiative to provoke, which is really unwise. ”

Zhang Han looked at Liang Hong, these two cabinets are particularly brilliant tonight, especially the analysis at this stage, which is indeed accurate.

The Fan family is just a little jealous, and they don't want to waste their connections and money in the struggle with Zhang Han, plus the account bureau and the mule and horse shop are not the main business scope of the Fan family, so they have been watching Zhang Han and He Yusheng become bigger, but when it comes to smuggling grain, the Fan family will give Zhang Han a dead end.

Self-destruction, of course, is not done by the wise, but the threat of the Zhou brothers also needs to be lifted as soon as possible, otherwise it is equivalent to putting a regular bomb and bomb around him, who knows when it will explode?

The brothers of the Zhou family are hiding in Daliang Mountain, but they may not dare to take a cold breath to come out and sneak attack, in the words of Song Taizu's cowhide coaxing back then, it is the side of the couch, how can others be allowed to sleep soundly?

Zhang Han looked at Wang Changfu and said, "Changfu, what are the chances of our dart master against the bandits of the Zhou brothers?" ”

Wang Changfu grinned and said: "What the proprietor said is surprising, it must be that we win, how can we say that there are many chances of winning?" ”

Zhang Han scolded with a smile: "You just talk to me, the proprietor? ”

Wang Changfu remembered Zhang Han's identity at this time, coughed, straightened up, and said solemnly: "The proprietor forgives the sin, and the villain forgets for a while...... Our dart master is now famous in Datong and Shanxi, and from last year to now, he has fought an unknown number of times...... Is it easy for the serpents of the land in various places to be subdued, and it is possible not to fight them? In the last month alone, there were five or six group fights in Zhenqiang Fort and several other forts, and the other party killed three and injured dozens of people. This is how our account bureau is famous, and the proprietor is willing to put the money in our account bureau, so he dares to rest assured! The proprietor, our people are incomparable with the elite of the border army, after all, they are not serious soldiers, those family members and the martial arts that do not collect at night are all practiced to kill people, immediately or under the horse to fight, pay attention to a fatal blow, you do not kill with a blow, that is someone else to kill you, is to their way to do it is different from ours, if our dart master meets a comparable number of family members or do not collect at night, then it is serious to run quickly, don't think about fighting...... The brothers of the Zhou family are also bandits, that is, they dare to kill, and their martial arts are not as good as ours...... After all, we are practicing in turns, and the towns and towns have not practiced like our dart game. I dare to write a package ticket, as long as the number of people is the same as that of the gang in Daliang Mountain, our people have practiced the Mandarin Duck Formation, and killing these bandits is definitely not a problem. ”

Wang Changfu also rarely spoke at length, everyone listened carefully, the more he spoke, the more proud he became, his spit flew sideways, and a mouthful of yellow teeth seemed to fly out.

Zhang Han also listened attentively, he actually didn't have much interest in military things, he still did what he wanted to do, what he wanted to do was to get rich in business, and after becoming rich, he didn't have any ideas about other things, people crossed as a military attache to farm and raise soldiers, Zhang Han still didn't agree to Ma Chengen's request to call him into the army, the last time they met in Datong, Ma Chengen mentioned this again, Zhang Han gave a vague ...... Just kidding, what to do as a military attachΓ©? How many restraints are on the body? As long as he has enough silver, even if Ma Chengen leaves in the future, he can still buy the next chief soldier, this kind of thing is difficult at the beginning, as long as he has a certain status, these civil and military generals of the Ming Dynasty, who doesn't collect money?

These things are just left to professional personnel, Zhang Han is of course very supportive of Wang Changfu's business, there is no good dart master, the account bureau is at risk, the chaos of the Ming Dynasty has been presented in this year, the security is poor everywhere, and bandits are everywhere, if not, the account bureau responsible for the remote deposit and withdrawal of silver can have such a good business? The emergence of the account bureau in the early and middle stages of the Qing Dynasty, remote access is only a small piece of business, as well as silver money exchange, lending and lending, financing to merchants and other functions, and later developed into a money bank, lending directly to the royal head, of course, it is a money village, has not developed into a modern banking industry, this is a pity, if Zhang Han wants to do something, he does not want to train a group of strong soldiers, but wants to be able to make the Yusheng account bureau into a bank in the future, and the bank is what he really wants to do.

This realm is low...... Thinking of this, Zhang Han also smiled to himself and shook his head.

"The proprietor?" Wang Changfu looked at Zhang Han, his expression was a little confused, and he said, "What the hell should I do, you draw a charter." ”

"Liang Xing," Zhang Han didn't answer immediately, turned his head to look at Liang Xing, and asked, "Did you drill out of the fire again?" ”

"Two more." Liang Xing said with a smile: "With the addition of the previous two, we now have four firecrackers in our hands, three Lumi guns, and one bird gun." ”

"You and Zhang Chun are both fine, and I ......" Zhang Han groaned, and then he said to Wang Changfu: "Changfu, you will make the firecracker, right?" ”

"Of course!" Wang Changfu said: "I told the proprietor about this, but did you forget?" ”

This guy really can't speak, but fortunately, Zhang Han often talks with him, and he is used to Wang Changfu's tone, sometimes Zhang Han often thinks that this guy must be the general's family, and he can't speak and is thrown out, otherwise this Wang Changfu is full of skills, and he can mix up a family wherever he is, so he won't be reduced to being a porter.

In the fight of the year, it was not a small gain to fight such a person.

Zhang Han didn't care, smiled, and said: "That's good, Changfu, you and we both use firearms, and then mobilize dart masters from all over the neighborhood to gather a hundred people, but they are divided into two shares, the less follow me as a guard, the less is on the bright side, and the more are farther away, once you find that the Zhou brothers bring people out, the two will be one, and they will fight hard." ”

Wang Changfu nodded and responded, Zhou Fengji and Liang Hong had worried looks on their faces, this is tantamount to using Zhang Han himself as bait, in case the knife and gun hurt the proprietor without an eye, and Yusheng's good situation will be completely ruined.

But it's useless for Zhang Han to do this, the Zhou brothers haven't come out to rob He Yusheng's convoy until now, if they harass with their iron heart, it will have a serious blow to Heyusheng's business, the reason why they have endured it until now is that there is such a line in secret, hoping to kill Zhang Han with one blow, and cut off Zhang Han's snake head, and Yusheng's python will naturally die.

This kind of practice is not beneficial to the bandits, which is naturally what the Fan family and Ning Yicheng meant.

Although the two shopkeepers were worried, they didn't make a sound, of course others would not object, Zhang Chun was a little timid, but his face was quite calm, Wang Changfu was indifferent, and Liang Xing was eager to try.
