Similar travel of the Holy Decree also appeared in other places in the Ming Dynasty. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In the north and south of the great river, in the 34 state capitals of the two capitals and 13 provinces, similar scenes are being staged.

One after another, the big-name eunuchs from Dongchang and the 12 eunuchs held the holy decree in their hands, and suddenly broke into the local government yamen or garrison camp to read the holy decree and mobilize the army.

What he did was to surround the locust merchant branch and carry out a unified investigation and condemnation.

Just like Zhu Yuanzhang got Shen Wansan, the God of Wealth, of course, Shen Wansan was innocent back then, but his face was too dark. And some people on Fan Yongdou's side are guilty of great sins, and they can't be recognized together.

It is reasonable to destroy them.

(Shen Wansan (some say he was born in 1296, and the other two say that he was born in 1330 and 1328, and died in 1376), his real name is Shen Fu, the word Zhongrong, commonly known as Wansan, a merchant and a huge fortune in the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties. ）

Shen Wansan accumulated primitive wealth by carrying out overseas trade, so that he quickly became the richest man in Jiangnan with "huge assets and land all over the world". Zhouzhuang's "village and town" is also Shen Wansan's work.

Regarding Shen Wansan's wealth, folk even legend that he has a cornucopia and so on, which reflects that he has countless wealth and superb skills in making and gathering wealth.

However, he is also a cup character, and he bumped into a stingy and murderous person, the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.

There are also several mentions of Shen Wansan in the History of the Ming Dynasty, one of which is clearly written in the biography of Empress Bigfoot: Shen Xiu, a wealthy citizen of Wuxing (now Huzhou, Zhejiang), also known as Shen Wansan, helped Zhu Yuanzhang build one-third of the city of Nanjing, and asked for funds to reward the army.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang did not appreciate it.

Instead, he was angry and said, "The puppet dares to reward the army of the Son of Heaven, and the absolute chaos should be killed." ”

Fortunately, Queen Ma admonished: "Your wife, I heard that the law is used to kill lawbreakers, but not to kill ominous people. The common people are rich and rival the country, it is the common people themselves who are ominous, ominous people, the sky will inevitably send disasters to him, why should Your Majesty kill him again. ”

So, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little relieved when he heard this, spared Shen Wansan and didn't kill him, but just exiled him to Yunnan after raiding his home.

(I feel like I'm still a cheater, I'm really an emperor with a pig on my head, and it's hard to be a good person.) ）

…………

At this moment!

Fan Yongdou and his more than 30,000 or 40,000 double-pulled carriages were loaded with prohibited materials, and they had all walked out of the side card.

The carriages were lined up, covering an area of nearly 100 acres, and tens of thousands of people's men and men, as well as the dart masters, as well as their henchmen, and the invited guards, followed by torches on both sides.

Then, not far from the side card, a large group of people came in front of them.

"The horse team stops, we are from the East Factory!" The team leader suddenly pulled out a waist card and shouted.

"East Factory?" Fan Yongdou screamed in horror, and then saw that there seemed to be more people and horses, and suddenly gritted his teeth and the evil came from his guts.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that Dongchang had always been known for its meticulous work, and in the next second, a guard next to him suddenly pulled out a knife and put it on his neck. This person is an agent of the East Factory!

And that's not all, as many of the team's attendants and makeshift grooms suddenly pulled out their knives from their arms.

One by one, the knives were stabbed on the necks of the important members of the horse team, and the situation changed dramatically in minutes. Let the horse team have no leader, but more than half of the people with high status are controlled. Let the horse team throw a bogey!

"Let go of our hosts! Let go of our hosts! "Of course, there were also loyal locust merchants who surrounded them and drew their swords to forcibly save people.

It's just that at this time, those fine works of the East Factory will shout. Push the knife a little harder, and deliberately stab a trace of blood out of the necks of those who are being detained, scaring the guys away.

This stalemate, soon, the opposite large army of Dongchang and Ma Chao's border troops surrounded and surrounded this place.

Even if the civilians had swords, they could not be the opponents of the regular army, not to mention that this horse team had a lot of men, but most of them did not have swords and had not practiced.

How is the opponent of the side army of the horsepower?

Besides, the people from Dongchang who came this time are also good players, and they are all prepared in order to make a plan.

Ma Chao rode a tall white horse, and shouted majestically: "Wait a minute, this soldier is ordered to arrest the traitors and profiteers who colluded with the slaves, and you will wait for the people's husbands, men and coachmen, and those who surrender will not be killed." Anyone who resists and escapes will be killed, and their families will also be guilty! ”

"Surrender or kill!" "Surrender or kill!" "Surrender or kill!" Tens of thousands of border soldiers held torches in their hands and shouted banners.

For a time, most of the people, grooms, and men of the horse team were frightened, how dare they resist, and they rushed to kneel and surrender. Occasionally, a few resisted and escaped, and were quickly cut down.

"Rebels, kill them all!"

When the overall situation was fixed, several of the first offenders were escorted to the horse.

"Fan Yongdou, you are waiting for the abuse of the country, betraying the country for glory, and today's retribution has arrived. Not to mention the account books of your past business dealings with Jiannu, just the stolen goods seized today are enough to wipe out several of you! ”

Hearing Ma Chao drink like this, the next second.

Fan Yongdou and the others were shocked, like a deflated ball, and sat weakly on the ground. In the crotch of his pants, the poop and urine are squirting out uncontrollably, and his face is pale!

"Hold it down and hand it over to Dongchang!" Ma Li waved his hand in disgust.

Soon, these people and their families were all imprisoned in Dongchang. Put on heavy shackles and stuff into the prison cart that has been prepared for a long time!

And when they and the horse team walked back, they came to the pass.

An army of the Zhu family army has been waiting here for a long time!

Ma Xiaosan led the team to give Ma Chao a smile that you know, and then part of the last horse team quietly transferred.

This is the benefit that Zhu Zilong promised to give to Ma Chao's checkpoint army, Da Ming has been in arrears with the border army's wages for a long time, and the same is true for Ma Chao's side. But the border pass is important, and the soldiers must not be chilled.

So, in this plan, Zhu Zilong secretly told Ma Chao that the family property of several major locust merchants would be given to him in one-tenth of this border army.

Now it's time to turn a blind eye to this and do it well!

Strictly speaking, in fact, one-tenth of it will be given to the internal supervisor, as well as the East Factory and Jinyiwei.

Then, three-tenths went to the treasury, and two-tenths to the queen's inner treasury. The last three-tenths fell into the hands of Zhu Zilong!

Don't think that 3 out of 10 seems to be less!

You must know that everything is difficult to do without profit, you want to have a part of the righteousness and benefits in all aspects, and you will also attract a large number of people to occupy a side with you and become comrades-in-arms. Who will do what is not beneficial?

According to the Ming law, 100% of everything must be handed over to the state, but now only half of it is enough.

The other half of the big guys are divided, plus these people in various places still have branches, and those places can do more articles.

That's a lot of money!

can make many people and horses, as well as Zhu Jiajun, full.
