Chapter 776: Naturalization of the Merchants Collection

It is indeed a merit of the world to destroy the enemies of the northern Xinjiang of the Ming Dynasty for nearly a hundred years, such a feat, the ministers of the court, and the scholars and scholars in the opposition will naturally be happy, and Wang Tong will have such a merit, and there will naturally be a very high reward, these are certain, but it does not mean that Wang Tong will be smooth sailing next.

Wang Tong was the first cronie of the Son of Heaven and his speech was extremely heavy, and now he has achieved such a big victory and made such a great contribution, so what status will Wang Tong get next, what weight will he say will be, people will feel terrified, in the past, it was said that Lu Bing was the son of Emperor Jiajing's nursing mother, and he saved Jiajing's life when there was a fire in the palace, and his status in the court was extremely high, the relationship between Wang Tong and Emperor Wanli is quite similar to this, and some people often use analogies, but now Wang Tong has such a feat, It is a foregone conclusion that he has achieved the status of Lu Bing.

A person like this in the court will inevitably greatly squeeze other people's right to speak, which is not allowed by the civil servants, and they will inevitably make things difficult and attack in every way.

Wang Tong went out of the fortress to conquer, went straight to the city of Guihua, broke the army of the Altan tribe, and then broke the capital of the Altan tribe, this series of actions were used in the name of exterminating the horse thieves, at that time he was the governor of Datong Town, to guard against the possible attack of the Tartars, and he did not start a war with the Tartars in his duties, and the battle was fought to such a scale.

Everyone is not stupid, Wang Tong said to the Tartars that he was exterminating horse thieves, how could the civil officials not guess the truth, although the procedure is a trivial matter, but it can make a fuss about this.

I think that back then, when Emperor Jiajing ascended the throne, how did the big ritual discussion arise, and it was not the kind of trivial etiquette and boring procedures that outsiders saw.

After the victory, instead of enjoying this victory, you have to consider the various reactions that may occur in the Jingshi, which is the current move of Wang Tong.

In the face of organized killings, and with the support of officers and soldiers behind these revenge-minded people, the bloody day in Naturalization City was quickly over.

The smell of blood filled almost the entire city, and the Han people and other people of all ethnic groups, who had subsided in their excitement, were urged by officers and soldiers to carry the corpses out and burn them in an open field outside the city, far from the water source.

The wealthy merchants in the city reaped a great harvest, and the people also had their own property, and the city was actually half empty, which was a long-term income, and it may be a long term income, and it may be a pleasure during the day, but at night they go back to their homes, and think of the blood on their hands, and think of the people they have killed.

Everyone knows that they can't turn back, they can only be loyal to Daming, and one road goes dark, but they can avenge their family and have accumulated grievances over the years, which is enough.

There are tens of thousands of Han people in the city, and these people are still qualified to be called people after all, and the Han people outside the city are even more miserable.

The Tumo River is a place where the rivers converge, and the irrigation of the fields is very convenient, although the fields produce only one season, they can still be called fertile fields, and there is an advantage here over other places on the grassland, because it is close to the mountains, and there are also several coal mines that are easy to mine, so there is no shortage of fuel, and the manure of livestock can be used to fertilize the fields, and there is fertilizer and water, and there is a lot of natural production.

The herdsmen on the steppe are not accustomed to farming, and the people who are busy on these fertile fields are Han people, and these Han people are serfs who belong to nobles at all levels, and when they fight against the Ming army, those Han people who are in front of them are drawn from these serfs.

Most of the serfs were plundered by the Ming Dynasty, these people have no personal freedom, they can not eat much food when they grow food, and their female dependents are often used as goods to be played and sold by the Tartar nobles, and their lives are really not as good as livestock, and they are miserable.

It is said that there were also several riots, but they were all suppressed by the Tartar cavalry, and by now these serfs have become a little numb, and everything is indifferent.

Killing was going on in the city, and the personnel of several trading houses who had entered the Naturalization City in advance were escorted by a cadre of soldiers from the Huwei Army to the various reclamation areas around the Naturalization City.

When Wang Tong led the army to come, everything was based on the battle as the top priority, and at this time he could take care of these serfs, and these serfs were no better than the Han people living in the naturalized city, they were scattered in various reclamation areas, and when they fought, most of the Tartar soldiers guarding them were transferred, and their side was actually very empty.

When Wang Tong sent people over, he was very worried that the serfs would break up and escape, and there would be a return at night, but what Wang Tong didn't expect was that there were no escaped serfs.

The Tartar cavalry guarding them either fled or died in battle, and in fact did not recognize and take care of them, but they still stayed in their huts, and had no intention of resisting or fleeing at all, which means that the oppression has lost all its vitality, but it is just to be numb and wait for death.

Some of those who escaped were taken captive in the past few years, and the people who returned had a sad look on their faces, saying that these Han serfs did not feel the slightest joy when they heard that the officers and soldiers had come to rescue them, and they were all treated very indifferently, which made people feel even more tight.

Wang Tong's subordinate merchants and other people from all walks of life, such as the storey, slept only two or three hours a day, and ran around the reclamation areas every day, and later, they also transferred the shopkeepers and accounts of the Han people and wealthy merchants in the city, and recruited people in the city, that is, to sort out the fields and serfs as soon as possible.

On the twenty-third day of the first month of the twelfth year of Wanli, the cavalry who went to pursue those fleeing tribes gave the first return, and three large tribes were defeated, and two took the initiative to ask for surrender.

With this principle, the cavalry also knew how to grasp it, and these news reached Wang Tong's side, proving that everything was moving according to the track designed by Wang Tong, and the situation was more and more under control.

To the surprise of Yang Jin, Ma Yong and others, the cavalry reported that there were actually people from Datong, and nearly 200 merchants were escorted by more than 400 cavalry.

The distribution of property and residence in the city, and the measurement of fields outside the city, are all in full swing, and it is common to transfer people from Shanxi, but it is too early, and there are still routs and thieves on the road now, it is really unsafe, these people are so bold to come. The cavalry was directly transferred by Ma Dong in Datong, and he was also familiar with Ma Yong, and after greeting him, he knew that there were even more surprising things, and merchants from all over Shanxi were on the way.

These merchants who came here are all the people of Sanjiang Commercial Bank and other businesses, and these businesses are closely related to Wang Tong and others, even if they don't know, they can see that after all, the military quarters and salaries are all raised by these people with the help of these people.

However, it is surprising that merchants from all over Shanxi are coming here at this time of the Great New Year, and they are in such a state of chaos.

According to the cavalrymen who came first, these merchants even invited guards and retinues from Shaanxi and Henan, but more than 300 merchants actually gathered nearly 3,000 guards, and also asked Shanxi Town to transfer 1,000 soldiers to escort them to this naturalized city.

After being surprised, it is a sigh, Shanxi in addition to the benefits of border trade, there is no special product, but the Jin merchants are rich not inferior to the two Huai salt merchants, Jiangnan is very rich, this is why, from this incident can see some clues, now it is indeed extremely dangerous, if you come over, it is likely to be affected by the military disaster, but the same is unlimited opportunities.

First of all, the seizures of the soldiers and the people, many things can not be exchanged for real money immediately, they have to find someone to buy and exchange for cash, how much is the difference between this, and the city has just been breached, some materials must be lacking, come to see the business opportunities to sell, it will inevitably be profitable.

Needless to say, no matter how big the business is, no matter how big the business is, it is to buy the money earned into the land and make a family business that has been passed down from generation to generation, but now the fertile land is in the hands of the vassal kings, nobles, and officials at all levels.

At present, there are so many fertile fields around this naturalization city, and the price is definitely not too expensive, if it is sold, it is a good opportunity.

The Naturalization City itself is a treasure land, and the various tribes on the grassland, the Western Regions, the Mobei, and the Eastern Regions all come to the Naturalization City to communicate with each other for trade.

Everyone knows that doing business in the Naturalization City must be profitable, but in the past in the Ming Dynasty to go to the north, it is equivalent to coming to a foreign country, there is such and such inconvenience, even if you come over, there is also the extortion of the Tartar soldiers, I answer the taxes of the nobles, and the competition of those local merchants, this time the Naturalization City was breached, they have a chance to settle down and stretch out their hands, and they have a greater opportunity to do their future business.

It is true that the city of Guihua has just been breached, and it is impossible to say what will happen in the future, but the merchants are not afraid of life and death, and they come bravely, and this courage to pursue profits is really amazing, and it is no wonder that they are rich.

On the twenty-fifth day of the first month of the twelfth year of Wanli, the merchants from Shanxi arrived at the city of Guihua, and when the merchants came, they thought they would see a city full of devastation and ruins, but they did not expect to see an orderly city, which gave them a lot more confidence.

After they entered the city, the people in the city were repairing and preparing every day, and this kind of move was for long-term planning, which made them feel that they had come to the right place.

Many Shanxi businessmen have dealt with the Hanmin merchants in the city in the past, this time, they immediately got in touch, but they didn't expect to have business to do, and the Hanmin merchants have too much loot to sell, and this business is extremely profitable.

The merchants were amazed at the abundance of loot, but regretted why they did not join it, the merchants also understood the reason, they all arranged for their subordinates to observe everywhere, and everyone went to meet Wang Tong first, which is the biggest immortal in northern Xinjiang today.
