When it comes to the eight Jin merchants in Shanxi, we must remember these eight names.

Fan Yongdou, Wang Dengku, Jin Liangyu, Wang Dayu, Liang Guest, Tian Shenglan, Zhai Tang, Huang Yunfa!

Zhu Youzhen remembered that there was a line in a TV series in later generations, and the original sentence was like this.

A merchant is a man who can consult on everything. ’

This sentence is quite appropriate and suitable for the eight major Jin merchants.

Now Zhu Youzhen feels that he can add another sentence to the eight Jin merchants.

Here in the Eight Jin Merchants, anything can be sold, as long as the price is right!

Nations can be sold, nations can be sold, everything can be sold.

From a business point of view, the eight Jin merchants have reached the pinnacle, they can sell worthless things at sky-high prices, isn't this ability?

Yes, the feeling of patriotism is a worthless thing here in the Eight Great Jin Merchants.

Cao Huachun rushed to Shanxi, and with him, there was also the triumphant Hong Chengchou.

After breaking through Luoyang, Hong Chengchou did not garrison for a long time, and directly raised troops to the north, handing over Henan to the governor Qu Ruzheng, and of course, Fu Zhichun, who made Hong Chengchou extremely disgusted.

Qu Ruzheng was in charge of Henan's post-war recovery, while Fu Zhichun took over Henan's defense and local Jing'an duties.

This allowed Hong Chengchou to rush to Shanxi after Cao Huachun.

"Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, he has not had time to deal with the Eight Great Jin Merchants, the reason is that the Eight Great Jin Merchants have deep roots in Shanxi and are rich enough to rival the country."

Cao Huachun met with Hong Chengchou in his temporary line and handed him a thick stack of information: "The officialdom of Shanxi has been corrupted by it, and it is difficult to say that Shanxi has almost become the Shanxi of the Eight Great Jin Merchants.

They have tens of thousands of private soldiers, and it is estimated that there are 20,000 or 30,000 people.

The specific distribution has been ascertained by the CIA, and Inspector Hong will take a look at it and help the imperial court eliminate it as soon as possible. ”

A sentence of extermination made Hong Chengchou raise his eyebrows, and his eyes also moved from intelligence to Cao Huachun: "Father-in-law Cao just said, extermination? ”

"That's right, extermination." Cao Huachun's face was like a flat lake, but the words he said were murderous: "Your Majesty means that no one will be left!" ”

Hong Chengchou's heart trembled.

These four words are ruthless enough.

Whether it was the suppression of the evil in northern Shaanxi or the crusade against Zhang Xianzhong's puppet Liang, Zhu Youzhen never issued an order not to leave such an order.

And now, in the face of the eight major Jin merchants, they actually said that there is no one left!

Cao Huachun continued: "It's not just the private soldiers of the Eight Great Jin Merchants who are also the court officials and soap officials who are in cahoots with them, even with their families. ”

Hong Chengchou sighed, incredible.

"This is also His Majesty's order?"

"It's not." Cao Huachun smiled: "How can such a brutal thing be put on top of the edict?" Your Majesty's clear decree is to only punish the evil and not correct the remaining culprits, the matter, our intelligence bureau will handle it, people, our intelligence bureau will kill, and Inspector Hong will be responsible for cooperating, and all the things behind can be pushed to the bottom.

Inspector, scraping bones can cure poison, just cutting flesh can't do it, where the roots are rotten, even the branches and leaves are bad, and no matter how long they grow, they may not grow well, in this case, simply let our intelligence bureau scrape the bones to cure the poison, kill it, and what grows in the future is all good fruit, do you say yes. ”

Looking at Cao Huachun's gloomy and cold eyes, Hong Chengchou laughed.

"Father-in-law Cao is wise, since Father-in-law Cao said it, then Ben Shuai will fully cooperate."

"Thank you."

-----------------

Jin Chamber of Commerce, the dead silence and silence of the black clouds crushing the city.

The bustle of the earlier crowd has become yesterday's yellow flower, and now the Jin Chamber of Commerce is full of fear and despair before the end comes.

More than a dozen Jin merchants sat down in the main hall, all of them with pale faces and trembling trembling at this moment.

Fan Yongdou picked up the tea bowl, but his trembling hands always splashed tea, and the annoyed Fan Yongdou smashed it to the ground and roared.

"You insisted on going to find that Zhang Xianzhong, but as a result, the mud that couldn't support the wall was a piece of!

Now Zhang Xianzhong has been ambushed in Luoyang, the evidence of your collaboration with the enemy is all in the hands of the imperial court, and the imperial court has sent troops to suppress it openly, what to do now, what to do! ”

No one said anything, but it wasn't because they were afraid of Fan Yongdou's might.

Fan Yongdou was tired of scolding and sat down, but soon he couldn't sit still and got up.

"We can't stay here and die, we must leave Shanxi immediately."

"Leave, where are you going?"

"Chahar." Fan Yongdou blurted out without thinking: "Go to Shenyang with Chahar, we have helped Huang Taiji so much over the years, he always has to leave a place for us and a place to rest." ”

Jin Liangyu laughed miserably: "Huang Taiji? He is only afraid that he will not be able to protect himself now, haven't you read Houjin's letter at the end of the year last year, and the king of a country can't even afford a stove.

Everywhere begging grandpa to tell grandma to find food and clothes, in this world, who is not difficult.

Let's go there, the final result is the same dead end, and go to Houjin by Chahar, how much can we survive along the way.

Rather than freezing to death in the road and being beheaded by the butcher's knife of the Mongols or Jurchens, it is better to stay in this land where our ancestors have lived for generations, and die, and die more steadily. ”

Fan Yongdou stared at Jin Liangyu viciously: "Do you always have to go against Lao Tzu?" ”

The latter shook his head indifferently: "We are all people waiting to die now, why should you intimidate the old man, if you can't get used to it, killing the old man is just a matter of dying early and dying late." ”

Fan Yongdou was furious, and was about to scold when he was stopped by several other people.

Huang Yunfa said: "Brother Fan and Brother Jin don't want to quarrel anymore, let's think about how to arrange a back road." ”

"Is there a way back?" Jin Liangyu glanced at him and sneered and mocked.

"It's true that we have no way back, but we have to let our children have." Huang Yunfa said: "I have already arranged to secretly send a few young children to the people, sell them to some people with fake hands, and change their names to Yi surnames, so they have nothing to do with me Huang, but this bloodline has been passed on after all."

As for the elderly, there is no way to register in the official mansion, let them flee on their own, life and death depend on the will of God, the court is afraid that it will not let us go this time, Hong Chengchou is here, and he can't even see Geng Ruqi, the governor of Shanxi, so look at it, Geng Ruqi himself is afraid that it will be difficult to escape.

In this way, he is planning to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots. ”

Jin Liangyu fell silent, and then chuckled a few times.

"It's still Brother Huang's thoughtfulness, yes, what else can be done now."

Fan Yongdou slammed the table.

"Look at what you look like one by one, did the knife fall, did our heads fall off, isn't it just Hong Chengchou, and it's not a heavenly soldier, invulnerable.

He brought troops, and we have soldiers in our hands.

For so many years, we have spent so much money and raised so many people in Shanxi, in order to be so useful today.

Gather all our private troops, right here in Taiyuan, and fight to the death with Hong Chengchou! ”

Yes, since both horizontal and vertical are death, then let's just fight to the death.

On the ninth day of the fourth month of the third year of Chongzhen, the merchants of Shanxi raised their banners in Taiyuan and rebelled openly against the imperial court.

On the seventeenth of the same month, Hong Chengchou conquered Taiyuan, and the eight Jin merchants were arrested, and then in Taiyuan City, Ling Chi showed the public!

Shanxi Governor Yamen, Domain, and Yamen officials were all arrested, and all the families of the eight Jin merchants were escorted to Beijing, but they were attacked by thieves on the way, and none of the more than 2,000 people were spared.

The notorious Eight Great Traitor Families have been completely erased.

This is in line with the old adage.

Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and the way of heaven is good reincarnation. If you don't believe it, look up, who the sky spares you!
