"Yes." These two people agreed, of course they knew the emperor's intentions.

This is a fact that let the two of them take 200 brocade guards and help them get silver, the key is to supervise them, if they dare to be female criminals, it is to kill them.

Han Yin and Yang Wanli took 200 brocade guards to follow the four of them to their own mansions and relatives' families to withdraw and borrow silver.

The parents, children, and wives in their family feel that it is too abnormal, they have been officials all these years to go home to pick up silver, how to pour silver out this time?

But when he saw the wolf-like Jinyi Guard, no one dared to say much.

Gao Di, Yang Kun, Gao Yuan and Gao Xuan told their parents and family members, including the little wife and relatives, that this was life-saving, and that it sounded good to be loyal to the Ming Emperor.

The emperor is now in Shanhaiguan!

The family suddenly changed color, and they were reluctant to take the silver outside. It's cool to get money home, but when you pour money out of your home, it's like cutting meat, but even you have to cut meat!

Five days ago, Han Yin and Yang Wanli sent someone to Chongzhen to send 450,000 taels of silver to Shanhaiguan, with an average of 110,000 taels per person.

Chongzhen saw that this was too little, 4 people had prominent status, three were such big officials, and one was the head of the local squire, who had stayed in Shanhaiguan Mountain High Emperor for many years, except for the emperor's Yulu, it was indispensable to loot the people's fat and people's ointment.

Since you didn't defend the border well and surrendered***, I asked you to spit out everything you ate!

There is no motivation without pressure, and it seems that these 4 guys are not honest.

Chongzhen asked Han Yin and Yang Wanli to give them 4 words, and the last 5 days, there are still 1.55 million taels of silver, if they can't make enough, they will be killed on the spot, so they don't have to be brought to Shanhaiguan to face the saint.

The four of them listened to Jinyiwei's words, and the sweat on their faces came down.

only said that the emperor was gracious, but this is more uncomfortable than killing!

The Ming Emperor is ruthless enough, and the Jinyi Wei is ruthless enough!

Another three days passed, and this time the four of them were all broken, and all the maids and maids in the house were sent away, and even the aunt and wife were also relieved.

sold all the valuable things in the family, such as gold, silver, jade, jewelry, etc., even the land and houses in the grange, and the gentry Gao Xuan sold his youngest daughter.

He also mobilized the local squires and wealthy households to raise donations, but due to the war in the Shanhaiguan area, the common people fled, and Wu Sangui and Fang Guangchen's policy of clearing the wilderness, the results were very small.

In this way, the four of them scraped together another 930,000 taels of silver.

There are still 620,000 taels of silver, which is far from the standard set by the emperor.

For two days, the three of them couldn't sleep.

If there is not enough 62 taels of silver in these two days, the efforts of more than 1 million taels of silver in front of them will be wasted, and the emperor will have to cut off their heads.

The 4 people couldn't sleep, and the Jinyi guard was guarding outside, and he couldn't hang himself now.

In the past few days, the four of them didn't think about tea and dinner, couldn't sleep at night, and lost more than a dozen pounds of weight, which was really a disaster from the sky.

The next day, four people were discussing together, and suddenly some of them remembered that there was a Wanjiazhai more than 100 miles west of Shanhaiguan.

This Dazhai is the place where Jin merchants, Zhejiang merchants, Hui merchants, and Fujian merchants gather and disperse, whether they are merchants from the west, or merchants from the south and the interior, or merchants from outside the country, all gather here.

I had to go there to raise donations, and if I didn't donate enough in two days, I would have to wait to lose my head.

But then again, these businessmen who travel long distances are very rich, as long as they are willing to raise donations, let alone 620,000 taels, 6.2 million taels will not be a problem.

Other than that, now the four of them have nothing to do.

Han Yin didn't dare to call the shots, so he took the brocade guards to guard them here, Yang Wanli came to see the emperor to ask for an order, and Chongzhen was happy.

I didn't expect this ruthlessness to really knock out so much silver from the hands of these 4 guys, what a 4 dirty officials!

got another 1.28 million taels of silver, in fact, Chongzhen was already very satisfied, but he must not be merciful to the fourth person in Gao, even if he squeezed toothpaste, he had to squeeze out.

Who told them to follow Wu Sangui's defection and surrender to the Manchu ***?

Even Wang Chengen danced happily and praised the emperor for his good fortune.

More than 1 million taels of silver, even if you raise another 200,000 soldiers and horses, it is more than enough, and you don't have to worry about silver anymore.

Otherwise, the problem of food and salary for 40,000 soldiers and horses is only 300,000 taels of silver, which is really a problem after a long time.

There is money in the capital, but now the capital of Daming is still trapped by thieves!

"Wanjiazhai?" Chongzhen listened to Yang Wanli's recital, and immediately became interested, okay, I will personally meet these big businessmen this time.

The merchants of the late Ming Dynasty were mainly known as Jin merchants, Zhejiang merchants and Hui merchants, who were indeed princes of Fubi. Among them, eight Jin merchants were on the list in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Chongzhen decided to make an article from them.

If you are lucky, the problem of the amount of money needed to cultivate the exercises will be solved.

Chongzhen had an idea, and told Yang Wanli and Wang Chengen his plan, and the two of them were happy in their hearts, and they repeatedly claimed to obey the order.

Yang Wanli left first with people.

Chongzhen handed over the 40,000 soldiers and horses of Shanhaiguan to Admiral Wang Chengen, and he selected ten Jinyi guards, including Tang Wancai, to accompany him.

Leaving Li Qiniang to be responsible for the timely delivery of information back and forth.

After everything was settled, Chongzhen and his party of ten people came to Wanjiazhai in disguise......

Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty Chongzhen
