Yang Fan comforted him with gentle words: "General, your hard work is of great merit, and you have done a great job in guarding Zhangjiakou. I will naturally tell you how to take credit for you."
Yang Fan was about to help him up.
Suddenly, there was another figure, rolling and crawling down from Wenchang Pavilion.
This one was even worse, his whole body was wrapped in bandages, like a mummy. When he saw Yang Fan, he suddenly burst into tears.
"Uncle, I have finally come to you. I was already planning to set the whole family on fire..."
Yang Fan was dumbfounded. He looked around and asked, "Who is this?"
He Kui was so angry that he was shaking all over. These two living treasures had completely humiliated him.
"Replying to my uncle, this is the camp commander Wang Fen, who is stationed at Zhangjiakou Fort with Hei Longyun."
Yang Fan had no choice but to comfort this person again, and he was convinced in his heart. It was no wonder that these two were partners. They really had the same ideals, and neither of them wanted to be left behind.
"Everyone, the situation in the fort is already like this. I think the army should camp outside the city. How about the other officials stationed in the fort." Yang Fan looked at everyone and said.
"It all depends on the commander-in-chief." Everyone accepted the order.
This fort is safer, after all, it is protected by the city wall. It is suitable for the Chinese army's tent and accompanying officials to be stationed here. This castle is too small, and the entire army of 80,000 people plus 100,000 civilians will definitely not be able to live in it.
"Your residence and business can't be found now, so you can make your own arrangements." Yang Fan said to the heads of the eight business groups.
There were one or two hundred people in each of their families, and they followed the army. As a result, Zhangjiakou was completely destroyed. Yang Fan didn't know how to arrange them. He could only let them do what they wanted.
Then the servant regiment began to build tents and set up camp. Yang Fan's shogunate, personal soldiers, and logistics officers and soldiers numbered about five thousand. After choosing a place, they began to set up camp.
Zhang Shize, along with his 30-person staff and a thousand generals and servants, also selected a place to set up camp.
Yang Fan considered that Zhang Shize had trapped these business groups quite hard this time. He sent these old men away in the cold weather. He specially arranged a cotton tent in the northwest corner and allocated some cast iron stoves and briquettes.
The buildings in the city had been razed, and they really had no place to spend the night. In this climate, it was easy for several people to freeze to death at night.
Yang Fan couldn't bear it, after all, he paid 600,000 taels of silver.
The heads of the eight families were worried about where they would spend the night. When they saw Yang Fan sending people to camp, they were immediately moved and thanked them one after another.
The area assigned by the civil servants and censor happened to be the Fan family's place. Jinyiwei and Dongchang camped next to them.
The servants and soldiers were digging to set up camp. As they dug, a soldier suddenly dug a big hole.
"Hey, there's something here."
There were obviously many cloth bags in this hole. Hu Laoqi, the handyman, pulled out a cloth bag from the soil.
A group of censors were smoking and chatting nearby.
Nowadays, cigarettes have become a fashionable thing in the officialdom. Especially civil servants carry metal boxes and cigarette packs with them to prepare for smoking at any time.
They saw the handyman setting up camp and dug out a cloth bag. They all gathered around to check it out curiously.
"Hu Laoqi, bring up the bag and see what's inside." The deputy censor also walked over and said.
During this expedition, Yang Fan took away all the capital camps. In order to check and balance, Chongzhen arranged for all the censors to be from Donglin.
The cloth bag was poured out.
There were more account books rolled out with a clatter. Some young censors picked it up and looked at it, exclaiming: "Sir, this is the account book of the Fan family."
There was a sudden explosion, and all the censors came running over. No need to check, it was known that after the Mongols took away all the people and property, they probably were not interested in these account books, so they buried them all.
These things are useless to the Mongols, but that doesn't mean they are useless to these censors. These things are of great use to them.
This is first-hand information. There are so many secrets in the account books of the eight major business groups that the censor suddenly became excited.
Wang Xiang, the vice-capital ambassador, had his eyes flashing. This time, he originally wanted to find something wrong with Yang Fan.
However, these two boys, Yang Fan and Zhang Shize, are not very young, but they are very naughty.
I have never been able to hold them back.
This time, the eight major business groups of Shanxi merchants were blackmailed, and the accompanying civil servants, censors, and factory guards all received benefits of varying sizes.
If they don't take the benefits, they can be impeached for taking bribes.
However, with the money in vain in front of them, the gentlemen of Donglin really can't control their hands. Now that they have accepted the money, they are just grasshoppers on a string. Naturally, they can't cause trouble again.
However, if the east is not bright, the west is bright. Now the financial backers of the Jin Party, the Fan family of the eight major business groups, have actually shown their flaws. This is God's will.
"Send our people to seal the outer camp gate first. No one is allowed to go out. Gather all the people and dig them for me." Wang Xiang said fiercely.
As shovels flew, burial sites were discovered one after another.
This time, the Mongols buried everything they thought had no value.
As the excavation unfolded, not only the account books were unearthed, but also letters, customs declaration materials for customs clearance over the years, various customs clearance procedures and specific items.
Wang Xiang was sitting in the tent, and the more he looked at it, the more excited he became. A dozen young Ke Dao censors below were busy checking, and if they found any problems, they brought them to Wang Xiang.
"Sir, I have discovered the correspondence between the Fan family and the founding slave Fan Wencheng. There are also records of gift orders."
"Sir, we found records of the Fan family smuggling military firearms to the Haraqin tribe."
"Sir, we discovered the accounts of the Fan family bribing the ministers of the DPRK."
The more Wang Xiang watched, the more excited he became. This trip was really not in vain. This time, he suddenly discovered the secret connections between the eight major business groups and the Jin Party.
"When it gets dark, send people to dig through the ruins of the other seven houses. There must be buried objects that we haven't discovered," Wang Xiang ordered.
After dark, Yang Fan was handling various official matters reported in the big account.
Zhang Jida came in and whispered: "Sir, those censors have really started to investigate. As soon as they dug up the account books, they all started digging around like chicken blood. Now they have started to go to the ruins of other houses.
Digged.”
Yang Fan threw the approved document on the table, took a sip of tea, and said: "I've decided that these Donglin censors will definitely not let go of this opportunity to seize the Jin Party's fate. They are now
We are instigating the emperor to clear up the army. The main purpose is to punish corruption, crack down on collusion between officials and businessmen, and clean up the guards and camps. Now I am just about to fall asleep on the pillow."
Zhang Geda looked at Yang Fan with admiration. He knew that these bastards would not end well if they offended the master. The slaves who sneaked into Ji Town last year were all seduced by these eight major business groups.
They also conspired to provide food to the Haraqin people and jointly opposed Lin Dan Khan. These food supplies were also implemented by the business group.
Last year, so many people were killed in the regiment training before we took the risk to eliminate the Jian Nu. The master was also in danger at that time. Someone even contacted the border army and sold all the big bronze cannons of Luzon to the Jian Nu. On the rocky beach,
During the battle, Yang Fan's men were almost wiped out.
"Master, what should we do next?"
"No need to do anything, let them investigate. The business group is not easy to mess with. Although Zhangjiakou is gone, they also came this time with a thousand people, at least 300 swordsmen. The business group will not
Just sit back and wait for death. Let them fight."
This time the three hundred people from the Jin Yiwei were all close to Donglin and not from the same group as Luo Yangxing. Zhang Geda thought to himself, there is something good to watch this time.
