Chapter 539: The Eight Great Jin Merchants Have No Way

An altar of silver and gold was brought out.

Bags of grain were pulled out.

Batches of members of the Fan family were dragged out.

A plaque of the Imperial Merchant given by the Manchu court was thrown out.

A scroll of holy decrees covered with the seal of the Shunzhi Emperor was thrown to the ground.

A pile of account books of the Fan family's military weapons, grain, salt and iron sold to the Jiannu outside the Guanwai were piled up on the carriage.

Fan Yongdou looked at everything in front of him with a pale face, he was very scared at this time, where did he think that he would have today, he now regrets why he supported the Manchu Qing in the first place, he doesn't know why he just looked away, this decaying Ming Empire will one day reappear in the northern sky!

Chen Zilong only smiled slightly when he looked at Fan Yongdou who was being escorted into the prisoner car, and immediately ordered the Fan clan to be executed immediately.

As a result, these Fan clan members were pulled up and stabbed to death one by one.

"From the day you betrayed my Daming, you should have the psychology to prepare for today's things!"

As Chen Zilong spoke, he ordered someone to register all the property of the Fan family, and all the grain was sold to the local civilians at a low price, except for making up for military needs, so as to achieve the purpose of stabilizing prices.

The entire Jinzhong is one of the richest areas in the north, but now after the Guards entered this area, although they copied the materials of the rich and rival country from the hands of these Jin merchants, they could also see a lot of people who were not clothed and had yellow muscles everywhere, and even starved all over the wilderness, plus it was a spring famine, and many people only fed on the bark of wild vegetables and trees.

However, among the materials that were confiscated from these Jin merchants, there were hoarded moldy old grains.

It can be said that these so-called Qing Dynasty emperors and merchants can also be regarded as contributing to the demise of their master, the Qing Dynasty, of course, when the Ming Dynasty ruled Shanxi, they also played like this, hoarding Juqi to make a fortune is the best way for them to rise.

After the Guards sold the grain hoarded by the Jin merchants at a low price or distributed it to the common people in other ways, the prices of the entire Jinzhong Plain dropped at once, and the class contradictions were quickly eased.

The operation to confiscate the Jin merchants had just begun, and the Guards soon led their troops to the home of the Jin merchant king Dengku.

Wang Dengku also knew that it was impossible for the Ming Dynasty to let him go, he was more prepared than Fan Yongdou, and prepared 3,000 guns and 20 artillery pieces in his own city and village, all of which he had spent a lot of money on over the years, and now he had to rely on this to repel the Ming army.

Shanxi is close to Mongolia and has always been invaded by the Tartars very frequently, so many large families in Shanxi like to build castles, build high walls and dig deep ditches, this is the case in Fan Village, and now Wang Dengku is also the same.

In order to conquer these castles where the Jin merchants were entrenched, the First Corps of the Third Army of the Guards Army and the First Corps of the Fourth Army of the Guards Army also specially applied to the Generalissimo's Office to send more artillery and nitrification explosives to their troops, so as to achieve the purpose of bombing these castles.

Wang Dengku stood in front of a fort and looked at the guards who were getting closer and closer, and couldn't help but grit his teeth, and ordered his family: "All ready, when these Ming troops appear, they will fire the cannon immediately!" ”

Boom Boom!

The guards were not fools, and naturally knew that these Jin merchants were fortified by castles, so they also brought a rifled cannon.

As soon as a heavy rifled howitzer fired, the heavyweight shell directly blasted a huge gap in the royal family's castle.

The cavalry of the Guards immediately rushed over.

"Kill!"

Seeing this, Wang Dengku's family members hurriedly raised their guns to shoot, but at this time, the cavalry of the Guards had already rushed in and directly cut Wang Dengku's family in front of him in half.

Wang Dengku's eyes were stunned, he didn't expect the city defense he had carefully prepared to run away so quickly, he immediately ran to his mansion without saying a word.

The rest of the Wang family also hurriedly dropped their firearms and ran back.

The guards were naturally unkind to these landlords, and as soon as they rushed in, they began to slaughter these royal family members, and none of these Wang family members were spared.

Wang Dengku looked at his house full of antiques and countless warehouses in the backyard and couldn't help crying: "My family business! Damn Daqing, we've done so much for you, why don't you protect us! Da Ming, Da Ming, if I knew that you would not die, where would I be like this, why would you not die! ”

Wang Dengku cried and screamed for a long time before he chose to commit suicide, hanged himself in front of the hall, and was still wearing the court clothes and black gauze hat given to him by the Qing Emperor Shunzhi.

But after the Guards appeared, Lin Yun, an officer of the Guards, first knocked off the braids on the back of his head, and according to the orders of his superiors, put down the body of Wang Dengku and directly divided the body into five horses.

Because according to the regulations of the Guards, these Han thieves who betrayed the country were the same as the Manchu Tartars, even if they committed suicide, they could not save their whole bodies, and all the bones of the corpses had to be chopped up and fed to the dogs, and the people who were specially responsible for disposing of these corpses were responsible for the people.

Anyway, the labor of the people in the northern region is cheap, and they can help with the work if they are given a mouthful of food, and it is beneficial to find more work for the people.

Naturally, the Wang family was also raided by the Guards.

There is not a single living hole left, and he also digs three feet into the ground, removing everything here, directly destroying this place, and becoming a place without people.

And Jin Liangyu, who is also one of the eight Jin merchants, is worried and uneasy, and now he only kneels in front of the guards and kowtows: "Master Jun, the little one is guilty, the little one promises never to betray the court again, the little one will never be a lackey of the Tartars again, the little one has smashed the plaque of the imperial businessman, and the little one is willing to sacrifice all his family property, just ask the military master to spare the little one's life!" ”

"Spare your life, you ask the people outside, ask me the Han family sons and daughters of the Ming Dynasty who were killed by you Jin merchants at the hands of the Tartars, ask them, ask them if they are willing to spare you at this time!"

Jiang Yingyun roared angrily, and directly ordered: "Don't worry about killing, raid the family and exterminate the clan!" ”

Suddenly, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the entire Jin merchant Jin family was also eradicated by the guards.

Wang Dayu also knew that it was impossible for him to escape the fate of being robbed and exterminated, and he also knew that the Qing Dynasty could no longer protect him, so he simply took the initiative to scatter the money, and sat at the foot of the wall crying while scattering:

"Why did you let Daming win, how did they win, we are good as slaves in Daqing, why do you want to fight back!"

Syllable!

The guards rushed over and immediately killed the Wang family who was carrying their belongings to the ground, and a citizen appeared in front of Wang Dayu with the guards: "He is Wang Dayu." ”

"Go away, you don't need to kill me, I will die myself", Wang Dayu said and then his face turned up in pain, and soon the corners of his mouth were bleeding.

"If you want to commit suicide to escape punishment, no way, immediately stab him a few more times, make him more painful before he dies, who made him a dog 0 traitor!"

Several guards hurriedly stabbed their bayonets into Wang Dayu's body, stabbing Wang Dayu with all kinds of holes, and his expression was even more painful:

"I've committed suicide, you still won't spare me, I'm just helping the Tartars to do the world, what's wrong, isn't it normal to change dynasties for thousands of years, whether it's the Hu people, or the Han people, whoever we let be the emperor is our monarch, and the disciples of Confucius still have to respect him as the master, can't we? Ahem! ”

After Wang Dayu finished speaking, he died.
