Chapter Seventy-Six: Impulsiveness
In the two hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the lowest-ranking merchants have become a force enough to influence the government through continuous marriages.
In many cases, businessmen have become more than just businessmen, they often combine with local magnates to become a new interest class.
In the years of Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, no matter how big a rich businessman was, he had to be as well-behaved as a grandson in front of officials, but in the Chongzhen period, rich businessmen might even affect the promotion and dismissal of officials.
In such an environment, in the face of Fan's family, Yi Ying, a five-grade and thousand-family household, is naturally nothing.
Fan's strength, Yi Ying only mastered a dime, however, it was this dime that completely frightened him.
Yi Ying's generation of military households, in his generation, finally survived a thousand households, I thought that my life would pass in such a mess, who would have thought that he would provoke Fan Yongdou.
This guy has been in business for seven generations, and there are countless big names as backers, for example, Bao Chengxian, the deputy general of Datong, as long as the other party says a few bad words to the commander of Ulzhou Wei, Yi Ying's real power and eight achievements will not be able to be kept.
The eldest husband can't be without power for a day, he is used to living a life of being a master in Guangling City, if he really deposes Yi Ying to a place where birds don't, then life is worse than death.
Today, Yi Ying has offended Fan Yongdou to death, and Fan Yongdou, who has eyes and hands, is famous for his retribution, and before the other party's revenge comes, he is firmly looking for a backer, which is Yi Ying's only way to survive.
The commander of the Ulzhou Wei is unreliable, and once Fan exerts his strength, maybe even he will not be able to protect himself.
The Ming Dynasty emphasized the suppression of military force, and only one civilian official was needed to deal with a military attache like the deputy general of Datong.
After thinking about it, Wei Yuan, who was backed by the right deputy capital Lu Xiangsheng, became Yi Ying's best choice.
It was precisely with the attitude of "paying the name" that Yi Ying stopped Fan's convoy outside the city.
So far, the effect has been achieved.
At the very least, as Wei Yuan's henchman Wang Teng, he has already understood Yi Ying's intentions.
"Squeak quack", Fan's convoy rushed in, and groups of strong men followed.
Yi Ying's face was extremely bad, "Brother Xian, the right talent Fan Yongdou took out the documents issued by Bao Chengxian, the deputy general of Datong, what do you think Fan is for transferring grain and straw with such fanfare?" ”
Wang Teng disdainfully, "Wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat, dogs travel thousands of miles ****, Fan's seven generations have been in business, what business did they rely on to make a fortune?" ”
"Smuggling"
"Yes, Fan Yongdou cares so much about this batch of grain, it must be the people outside the customs who are urging it."
Yi Ying scolded, "The rats who sell their ancestors for glory, our Ming Dynasty is in the hands of these bastards."
Wang Teng glanced at Yi Ying, Yi Ying's face turned red, Xu thought of his previous behavior, he hurriedly explained: "I also received their benefits because of lard before, who would have thought that Ding He and Fan Yongdou would be the same raccoon dogs?" Rest assured, I will not stand with them in the future."
Wang Teng was noncommittal, "Brother, with so many people entering the city, what if there are thieves who are confused with it?" ”
Yi Ying's eyes rolled, and he immediately came to his senses, "Where is Zhang Wang?" ”
"What do you command?"
"You quickly led a team of people to keep an eye on Fan's for me, and as soon as there is any trouble, I will report immediately."
"Get the order", Zhang Wangxing rushed away.
At the gate of the city were all Fan's convoys, and the people of Guangling County didn't know what was going on, and they were all pointing on both sides of the official road.
For some reason, suddenly there was a nameless fire, and Wang Teng felt that he was too useless.
What's the use of keeping an eye on Fan? Isn't it just that you can only watch the other party transport the grain of the Ming Dynasty to the outside of the customs and go to the enemy?
In the coming year, the Houjin cavalry ate the grain of the Han people and came to plunder again!
What the fuck is this?
What did he change by killing Ding He, robbing salt goods, and blackmailing Fan Yongdou?
The grain that should be transported still has to be transported away!
Wang Teng suddenly began to wonder if his efforts for a long time were useless?
Outside the city, Fan Yongdou didn't even enter the city, he stayed in the carriage and closed his door to recuperate.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Wang Teng even felt a mocking gaze patrolling over him, as if to say, Fan's grain and straw, no one can move.
Damn it!
Wang Teng's anger could no longer be suppressed, he glared ahead, "Huang Hu, at this time of the raid, how sure are you that you will take Fan Yongdou?" ”
Fan Yongdou was full of guards on the left and right, and at a cursory glance, there were at least a hundred people.
Huang Hu just glanced at it and grinned: "Seventy percent of the certainty is still there."
What the?
Want to kill Fan Yongdou?
Crazy!
Yi Ying's frightened soul scattered, "Brother Xian, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, if Fan Yongdou dies here, you and my brother will not be able to escape death."
Wang Teng's most hated thing in his life is traitors, if it weren't for this group of businessmen who forgot their interests and fornicated with foreigners, how could the Ming defense line be full of holes?
If it weren't for the Jin merchants led by Fan Yongdou who betrayed their ancestors, how could the Houjin outside the gate become stronger and stronger?
It is true that the Ming generals are incompetent and affect the three armies, but if there is no Fan Yongdou and others, Houjin would never be so powerful.
To put it bluntly, Fan Yongdou is feeding Houjin with the blood of the Han people.
Huanghuang Daming, Chinese orthodoxy, in the end was stolen by a group of barbarians, which was really unbearable for Wang Teng, "Brother, Fan Yongdou is the big thief of the country, I swear to kill him!" ”
Huang Hu rubbed his hands, he felt the giant axe behind his back, and seemed to be ready to fight.
Although the accompanying Xiang Yong was confused, no one flinched.
Crazy, all crazy.
Yi Ying didn't understand why Wang Teng, who was so good a moment ago, was going crazy now, but he knew that if he didn't stop it, Wang Teng would really rush out.
This is Fan Yongdou, the first person in the Jin Dynasty, but not a dog or a cat!
In a hurry, Yi Ying turned over and dismounted, he pulled Wang Teng's reins, and said in his mouth: "Brother Xian, listen to me, listen to me!" ”
Wang Teng glanced at Yi Ying coldly, his face full of impatience.
Yi Ying didn't dare to be verbose, "Brother Xian, the Fan family has already entered the city, if Fan Yongdou dies outside the city, Xiaoxiao will make trouble in the city, at that time, how should Lord Wei deal with himself?" ”
At the mention of Wei Yuan, Wang Teng instantly sobered up a little, "Isolate inside and outside, kill them all!" ”
Yi Ying was about to cry, "My God, virtuous brother, you are just a county inspector, brother, I am just a county town, you think we are Inspector Yuan?" The superintendent killed Mao Wenlong, and finally ended up being executed by Ling Chi, although Fan Yongdou has no official position, but the relationship behind him is intertwined, and you and my brother can't afford to offend."
yes, what about killing Fan Yongdou?
Houjin's entry into the Central Plains is not something that can be done by one Fan Yongdou, Wang Teng gradually came to his senses, and said in his mouth: "It's a pity that Mao Shuai died, and it's a pity that the superintendent is also a pity."
As long as Wang Teng doesn't kill people, whatever he says is anything.
Yi Ying shook her head repeatedly, "That's right, it's a pity, it's a pity."
