Under the persuasion of Song Xiance, Zuo Liangyu finally accepted the canonization of the Hongguang Imperial Court, promised to become the king of Jingxiang of the Ming Dynasty, and was also willing to garrison the city of Nanyang, not to take a step forward, but Zuo Liangyu also asked the Hongguang Imperial Court not to disclose the matter of his acceptance of the canonization.

When Song Xiance heard it, he agreed at that time, after all, the imperial court or Shi Lei's attitude towards Zuo Liangyu, he knew it well, and he could not let Zuo Liangyu continue to enter the army, and he could not leave future troubles for the future crusade against him, how could he not agree, in this way, this agreement was quickly reached under the condition that both sides had their own ghosts, and when Song Xiance sent the news back, whether it was Shi Lei or Li Yan, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and after solving all the unexpected troubles, next, it was time to start the net war.

Unlike Li Yan, Li Yan is facing the fierce Wu Sangui army, while Shi Lei is facing the coalition army of the eight major families in Shanxi, of course, it is said that it is the eight families, and now it can only be regarded as the seven families, since, after the failure of the Huang family to transport grain to the Manchu Qing last time, not only lost a lot of money, but more importantly, lost the trust of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so that the Huang family was completely devastated until now, although the Huang family still maintains the apparent glory of the people, but in addition to Huang Yunfa, Huang Yunfei and Huang Yunfa's youngest son Huang Mengyun don't know whether they are alive or dead, and the eldest son was also sent by Huang Yunfei to the land south of the Yangtze River and cut off relations with the Huang family.

"Let's talk about it, let's talk about it, how we should deal with the menacing thieves on the other side, you know, this matter is related to the life and death of our eight families, so how to deal with it, we have to discuss it together. is discussing a good way, no matter what, as long as it can ensure that our eight families are safe and sound, the old man will not ask for more other things. "The person who spoke was called Fan Yongdou, and when it came to it, it started in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. Up to now, more than 100 years ago, the Fan family has risen in the Sanjin Dynasty, and then with the ascension of the group of people in Shanxi, the entire Jin merchant group has rapidly gone to the whole country and has become several famous consortia in the country at that time, headed by the Fan family.

And then it was precisely by relying on the relationship between the officials that the Jin merchants developed more and more, and there were all kinds of birds in the forest. With the passage of time, the Jin merchants, who were originally known all over the world for their conscientiousness, honesty, careful budgeting, and simple life, slowly embarked on the evil road, and with the weakening of the power of the Ming court, the border passes were slowly relaxed. This is also an indispensable thing, when there was a rise of alien races in the north in the past dynasties. It was all when there was infighting in the Central Plains Dynasty.

It is also in this situation that some Jin merchants found a good way to make a fortune quickly, that is, to transport goods out of the customs and sell them to foreign races on the grassland, of course, there is definitely no profit from ordinary goods. They transported some contraband that could not be transported by order of the imperial court, tea, private salt, iron tools and other necessary things on the grassland, relying on the relationship maintained by the Jin merchants for hundreds of years. Those officers and soldiers stationed at the border have long been bought off by them, and they are all turning a blind eye to these things, relying on this situation, a group of unscrupulous Jin merchants have developed rapidly, the largest of which is the Eight Families.

If that's all, it's nothing, at that time, Mongolia was no longer the Great Yuan Empire it once was, and the things that the Eight Families sent to them were only enough for their usual use, but as time went by, with the rise of the Manchu Dynasty, the Eight Families finally found a very perfect partner.

Then, with the pursuit of interests, the cooperation between the Eight Great and the Manchu Qing Dynasty became closer and closer, not only to transport some materials, but even the information in the customs they secretly handed over to the Manchu Qing, as the time all over the world, and even many high-ranking officials were trained by them for the Jin merchants, it was simply a simple matter to get some information, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty also relied on these information, to be able to enter the customs again and again, to the Ming court, which was already terminally ill, wreaking havoc, and finally arrived not long ago, The Manchus finally entered the customs smoothly.

They are very clear about the strength of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and they are also very confident that the Manchu Qing can seize the world, and if they enter the Manchu Qing Dynasty to seize the world, with their relationship with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the future benefits are simply incalculable, but when they are excited, under the Tongguan City, the news of the defeat of the 20,000 elite Manchu Qing army in one fell swoop made them fall into the Infernal Hell in an instant, they never thought of it, How could the once invincible and invincible Manchu Eight Banners army be defeated by a little-known person with a group of rabble, or such a fiasco, but at this time, it was no longer their turn to think about this.

Shanxi lost the suppression of Tang Tong and his army, Liang Zhendong took the opportunity to grow rapidly, in a short period of time, there is even the momentum to completely take Shanxi, for this situation, the eight families must not sit idly by, they also know that with what they did, if Shanxi is really taken by the Shaanxi Ming army, waiting for them eight families There is only one end, that is, the destruction of the whole army, for generations, the Chinese hatred of traitors is far better than the invaders.

Fortunately, the Manchu Qing also needed someone in Shanxi to contain the power of Shaanxi, otherwise, if the Shaanxi Ming army occupied all Shanxi, then for the Manchu court, it was a very uncomfortable thing, you know, Shanxi is not too far from Beijing, if the Shaanxi Ming army really sent troops to attack Beijing, then the Manchus will also be very big.

In this way, with the support of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and at the same time Liang Zhendong also because of Shaanxi, the two sides formed a confrontation situation. Originally, the Eight Masters thought that after maintaining such a situation for a period of time, as the Manchu Qing Dynasty grew, it would be able to quickly exterminate the Shaanxi Ming Army, but they did not expect that the Manchu Qing Dynasty had not yet made a move, but the Shaanxi Ming Army had made the first move.

Hearing Fan Yongdou's words, after the rest of the people in the hall looked at each other, someone said, "Brother Fan, everyone knows the current situation, this is the time when the survival of our eight families is in danger, according to the younger brother, we have only one way at present, that is, to fight to the end, not to talk about other things, let's just say that even if we really surrender, do you think that Shi Lei's thief is willing to let us go, I have heard, he hates us to the core, and once said, to people like us who betray the country, The more deaths the better, and I don't want us to end up with no money and no one in the end. ”

This person's name is Jin Liangyu, and he is second only to the Fan family among the eight families, and at the same time, because he took the line of Azig, he was desperate for the Manchu Qing and was a hardcore traitor.

After Jin Liangyu's words were finished, several people nodded at the same time, to be honest, although they were afraid of the Shaanxi Ming Army, but as businessmen, they always made profits in the risk, and now seeing that the strength of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger, how can they be willing to leave the Manchu Dynasty at this time, and defect to the Shaanxi Imperial Court, besides, what are the consequences of defecting to the Shaanxi Imperial Court, they still don't know, if they really say to Jin Liangyu, then at that time, the wealth accumulated by their eight families in the past hundred and ten years will not really be completely empty.

"Everyone, everyone, but the current situation is that the enemy is strong and I am weak, the regent doesn't know what the situation is, if the Manchu court does not send troops at that time, with our people, how can we resist the group of wolf-like enemy soldiers on the opposite side, if we are really defeated by them, we will not even have room for bargaining, if that is really the case, then it will be the real end of our eight families." Seeing that everyone agreed with Jin Liangyu's words, another person spoke on the other side and said, the person who spoke was called Tian Shenglan, who was relatively weak in the Eight Families, mainly doing some leather business, of course, that was compared with the other families of the Eight Families, for most businessmen, the Tian family was also a huge family.

After listening to Tian Shenglan's words, a few people who were a little enthusiastic by Jin Liangyu's words just now stopped talking, after all, the future is beautiful, and it is not as important as the present, if they can't even hold the present, how can they still have a future? For a moment, the hall fell silent again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in fact, according to the last general, although the current situation is serious, but it is not really a matter of life and death, first of all, we should know that although the main general on the opposite side has been replaced by Shi Lei, but how much ability he has, we have only heard of it, and have not really understood, in saying that, even if he is really capable, but it is difficult for a woman to cook without rice, no matter how powerful he is, he does not have enough troops under him, how can he pose a threat to us, at most it is just to capture some counties, in this case, We don't have to be so nervous, the most important thing is that the last general guessed that he came to Shanxi this time, not really wanted to do it to us, mainly for deterrence, you know, now in the land of Henan, the Ming army in Shaanxi is fighting with the imperial court, at present, it seems that the imperial court still has an advantage, at this time, as long as Shi Lei is not a madman, he will not really do it to us, after all, although we are weak, but it is not soft tofu, it is really a matter of not knowing who will die. Just as the rulers of the Eight Great Families were in a dilemma, a general wearing armor spoke up.
