Pingyang Mansion was so easily taken by the Shaanxi Ming Army, when the news spread all over the world, but it did not cause any sensation, those in power of various forces heard the news, did not even react, this is not Pingyang Mansion is not important, as a large city in Shanxi, it stands to reason that it should not be ignored so much, but the reality is so, it is because the enemy they face is too strong.

Shaanxi Hongguang Imperial Court, although the rise of the time is not long, but as the Central Plains, can compete with the strong, brave Manchu Qing forces, want to take a city is not a matter of hand, and even many people are a little curious, why do they know that it is destined to be a big defeat in the end, and those people of the Eight Great Families still have to work hard to resist?

For these, many people don't understand, but they don't need to understand, they just need to know that from now on, once in Shanxi, as well as in the north and the whole country, the Shanxi Jin Merchants Group, which was so powerful that it seemed to be omnipotent, was completely wiped out, and the days of the 'Eight Families' as the once glorious leaders of the Jin Merchants were over, even if there were merchants in Shanxi in the future, it had nothing to do with the former Jin merchants.

And, with the fall of Pingyang Mansion, it means that the entire Shanxi has completely fallen into the hands of the Hongguang Imperial Court in Shaanxi, so that the Shaanxi forces that have Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Henan have been in the northwest and a large grassland outside the Saiwai are already the second largest force in addition to the Manchu Dynasty, of course, if it were not for the fact that some time ago, the Manchu army annihilated the Huang Degong forces, occupied the entire Jianghuai region, and went south to the south of the Yangtze River, I am afraid that even the Manchu Qing Dynasty would have to succumb to Shaanxi, became silent for a while, and even many people immediately changed camps and joined the side touting the Shaanxi forces.

This is not that these people are willing to do this, but at this time they are qualified to participate in the general trend of the world, are the official eunuchs, or the landlord class, for these people, whose power is strong, can ensure their vested interests, they will support him, which is why, in history, the Manchu Qing can quickly get the world, because the Manchu Qing in order to seize the world, gave these forces many benefits, so as to get their support, only to quickly defeat the Ming and other forces.

And for these people now, Shaanxi is the object of their interests, after all, from the immediate point of view, the Yongli court in Nanjing, which originally seemed to be powerful, was about to be destroyed by the Manchu army going south, and for these people, the Manchu court was a foreign race after all, except for a few traitors who were willing to surrender and betray the country for the sake of high-ranking officials, the rapid rise and the powerful Shaanxi power became their last choice.

The reaction of the outside world, whether good or bad, is nothing for the W Fuchen army now trapped in Hongdong County, when they got the news that Pingyang Mansion has fallen from the letterhead of the Ming army in the city, the uneasiness that had been suppressed for a long time finally broke out completely in the army, after all, many people in it said that they came here to eat mixed rice, but now, seeing that their salary is gone, and they even have to stay in this lonely city and wait for death, how can they be willing, Therefore, in just a few days, the number of people who just wanted to escape from the city has reached more than 1,000, and even though many of them were captured and beheaded after escaping, there was still an endless stream of soldiers who escaped.

And as the head coach, W Fuchen and these people have always been hiding in the house and have never shown their faces at all, otherwise, even if Wang Jun is chaotic, he will not become so uncontrollable.

"General, it's not a way to go on like this, we have to think of a way, whether it's to go or stay, we have to make a decision as soon as possible, although the food and salary in the city is still enough, but tens of thousands of troops are consumed like this, sooner or later, it will be empty, and, most importantly, now the army's morale has been completely confused, even if you want them to rush out, it's impossible at all, but, my lord, we are all trained by adults, no matter how adults choose, we will definitely follow adults, Even if the adults want to fight with the Ming Dog now, we will swear to follow the adults to the death and never be a bad breed. In the hall, a general said to the assistant minister who was sitting behind the desk.

In just a few days, W Fuchen, who was originally in the prime of life, has aged a lot quickly, looking like an old man, and even on his head, which was originally full of black hair, there are a few more gray hairs, which shows how happy his heart has been in the past few days. Therefore, after hearing the words of this general, W Fuchen didn't say anything for a long time, and then sighed, and said in a somewhat hoarse, as if emotionless voice, "Jiechen, do you think we have any other way to go now, except for Kaesong surrender, we can only wait for death, I know that you people are loyal and brave, but not to mention that you more than a thousand people, even if you come ten times, you may not be able to go out, since the Ming army has set this trap, then they must be ready, Surely we will not be allowed to escape, I am afraid that as soon as we get out of the city gate, we will be attacked by thunder.

Forget it, so far, Wang has nothing to say, the king is defeated, the strength is not as good as others, can only bow his head and admit defeat, Fan Dangjia several big masters put all the hope on my body, but I went to the people's big dang, all the elite soldiers brought to this Hongdong County, originally, I thought that as long as the Ming army blocked the road to the south, the Ming army would be able to retreat in the face of difficulties, so as to ensure the safety of all the masters, but I never thought that the Ming army would come from Henan, and what was even more unexpected was that Now that many masters have fallen into the hands of the Ming army, I am afraid that what awaits them will be a miserable future.

Therefore, Wang has already thought about it, tomorrow he will order Kaecheng to surrender, give you a way to live, I believe that the general of Shi Lei's Ming army will not be a person who kills indiscriminately, and even, with your own ability, you can also obtain a certain official position in the Ming army. If that's the case, Wang is worthy of you. ”

After listening to W Fuchen's words, the general called Jiechen was not surprised, but looked at W Fuchen with a frightened face and said, "Why did the general say this, we don't understand anything else, but loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness still know, the general took us like brothers and sisters, how can we leave the general at this time, besides, we have all surrendered, where is the general going again, besides, is the general really abandoning us?" ”

"Wang has betrayed the trust of your masters, and he is stupid and incompetent, which has led to your masters falling into the hands of thieves, in this case, Wang can only repay the kindness of your masters by dying, why are you following Wang, who is dying?" Seeing Jiechen's worry, W Fuchen said with some emotion.

"General, you" Jiechen saw that the very determined W Fuchen was there, and was about to open his mouth when he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps outside the house, and then saw another general hurriedly running into the house, and then handed a piece of letterhead to W Fuchen, and at the same time shouted in his mouth, "General, the Ming army outside the city shot a letterhead, saying that it will be noon tomorrow, the governor of the Ming army, the cabinet minister Shi Lei, will personally negotiate with you outside the city." ”

After hearing the news from this general, he looked at the W-Fuchen, who had a decadent expression and a declining expression, and a trace of essence suddenly leaked out of his face

"Unexpectedly, this Huang family father and son are really talents, they can use the existing conditions to complete the task, which is not bad, since they are a talent, then we have to make good use of it, and since they have completed the task, then we must also reward them, so let's do it, the Huang family was originally a merchant family, and they were included in the list of first-class officials and businessmen, so that Huang Yunfa can do it well, as for that Huang Mengqi, since he wants to continue to stay in the nightingale, then arrange a position for him, such a talent, If you don't make good use of it, it's a waste. Outside Hongdong County, inside the Ming army's tent, Shi Lei stood there, looking at the news from Li Yan from Pingyang Mansion, and said with a smile.

"My lord, the Huang family's reward like this is not bad, but what should Wang Dengku, Wang Dayu and Tian Shenglan do with their three families, this time they can be regarded as having made a contribution, and what should the remaining Fan Yongdou family do." After listening to Shi Lei's words, Tong Chenfu on the side opened his mouth and asked, as Shi Lei's military counselor, he had to read the news from the nightingale first, and then hand it over to Shi Lei.

Hearing Tong Chenfu's words, Shi Lei also felt a little difficult to do, at the beginning, for the eight families in Shanxi, he was ready to all copy the house and ask for the guilt, but he didn't expect that the plan did not change quickly, in such a short period of time, the matter in Shanxi was over, but Wang Dengku and others gave them help in disguise, if it was just some simple help, then he could also deal with it, but these three families were also considered to have made great efforts this time, even if Shi Lei was unwilling in his heart, he could only pinch his nose and endure these things.

After thinking for a long time, Shi Lei said, "The Fan family, the Jin family, the Liang family, the Zhai family, these families are willing to sell their ancestors for glory, for the sake of interests, they do not hesitate to sell the country for glory, all the people of the four families are arrested, and then let the imperial court send officials to review, all those who have done illegal things will be severely punished according to the law, as for their family wealth, it is ill-gotten gains, all of them will be confiscated and handed over to the treasury." As for the three families of Wang Dengku, since they have repented and made contributions to us, then we still have to open the net, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, it is impossible to go unpunished, let them pay a part of the fine, of course, they have been in business for so many years, and they still have a certain usefulness, give them a third-level official and businessman status, you can do it, let them be careful in the future. ”

Although he said this, Shi Lei was very unwilling in his heart, although he was very resentful of Fan Yongdou, who betrayed the country and betrayed his ancestors for his own selfish interests, and he also knew that for these people, as long as he gave an order, he would be able to exterminate the Nine Clans, but he knew that he couldn't do this, not because Shi Lei was unwilling, but if he really did it, it would be very unfavorable to the development of Shaanxi in the future, and even cause a negative impact, so, He can only use the due process to punish these people, so that even if someone really has a certain dislike for him, most people will not oppose the Shaanxi forces.

After hearing Shi Lei's punishment of the Eight Families, Tong Chenfu was also very satisfied, you know, he was really afraid, Shi Lei gave an order, and all the Eight Families were exterminated, although, according to what the Eight Families had done in the past, it was nothing to raid the family and destroy the family, but in this way, it would offend many former forces, and even affect the development of Shaanxi in the future, after all, some forces in many places will deal with several forces at the same time for their own development, if Shi Lei treats the Eight Families like this, At that time, these forces are afraid, and they will fight against the Shaanxi forces to the death, which will make Shaanxi pay a lot of unnecessary sacrifices and waste, and in the officialdom, it is never according to morality to judge right and wrong, but according to the size of interests to judge right and wrong, so, after seeing Shi Lei's steady proposal, Tong Chenfu was also happy about Shi Lei's increasing political quality.

After the main things were dealt with, Tong Chenfu said, "My lord, this is all over, and this Hongdong County is left, but according to the subordinates, this Hongdong County will not be able to hold out for a few days, and after Hongdong County surrenders to Kaicheng, we can really breathe a sigh of relief for the time being." ”

Hearing Tong Chenfu's words, Shi Lei thought about it, and then suddenly said with a smile: "Mr. Tong, you will order someone to send a letter to the W Fuchen in the city in a while, saying that this official wants to ask him to talk in person at noon tomorrow, hoping that he can appear on time." ”

As soon as Shi Lei's words were said, Tong Chenfu was stunned, and his heart suddenly became anxious, he originally thought that Shi Lei had gradually matured, but he didn't expect that Shi Lei would do this kind of unexpected thing from time to time, you know, the current Hongdong County is already the meat on the chopping block of the Ming army, as long as they wait, they will definitely open the city and surrender, and at this time, Shi Lei saw W Fuchen, isn't that asking for hardship, if W Fuchen is an ordinary person, it will be okay, but according to Tong Chenfu's understanding, W Fuchen is also a strong general, If he really did something fatal when he met, wouldn't it make all the people in Shaanxi regret it for the rest of their lives?
