Shanxi merchants were too profitable in the late Ming Dynasty.

Even in the late Kangxi period, they were still the most profitable group. They were all operating in the rear by Shanxi merchants.

The National War Logistics Department was contracted by individuals.

During the Chongzhen period, the Shanxi merchants had tens of millions of taels of silver. After the Qing court entered the pass, their status was further improved and they became imperial merchants, making great fortunes.

From camel caravans on the Mongolian grasslands to merchant ships going out to sea at Wusongkou, Shanxi merchants were calculating, from the vinegar smell of Hulunbuir to the aroma of wine in Kweichow Moutai, Shanxi merchants were brewing and hawking.

Tian Shenglan would not have thought of the Nanzhangbei Hammer in his mouth, so she sat in front of him.

He thought about doing business with Liang Fu (He Jinchao), one to two, and he could successfully grasp He Jinchao in the future.

The news of a turbulent disturbance in the capital has not been conveyed to Zhangjiakou by the caravan, and the camel caravan has always been one step slower than He Jinchao and others.

Gao Yingxiang and He Jinchao lived on Datongpu, patted their chests and said, "I still feel that it's so good to burn the chicken crowing room with a fire."

"Ji Mingyi is just a small place. If we want to do it, we will burn Zhangjiakou. The goods there are piled up in mountains, which is more suitable for us to take action. If we take action now, we will inevitably be alarmed, and there is no need."

"Okay, okay, you mentioned the burning of Zhangjiakou anyway, so you will follow it all."

The next day, after Tian Shenglan burned incense to Guan Gong, she took her own people to Zhangjiakou Fort with He Jinchao.

I have to say that as a Shanxi merchant, he is very happy in this area. The caravans who are a little powerful when they see Tian Shenglan, they will take the initiative to say hello and make a fortune as they say.

He Jinchao observed these people. There were also people who pulled water trucks to sell water on the road. A huge wooden barrel with a valve (similar to a faucet) underneath, used to collect water, and it is a high-quality water source.

All you earn is hard money. From Shaling to Zhangjiakou, there are no rivers around, and the wind and sand are getting stronger.

Of course, if you don’t want to drink water, there are also wheelbarrows transported by two people, and four jars of rice wine are also not low.

There are also snacks next to it, such as warming a bowl of wine and a plate of fennel beans.

There are even buses and cars, and they stop at a fixed station. He Jinchao asked for a ride.

He heard that the mules and horses pulling the carts have been trained for a long time and can be controlled without anyone else.

When the car is full of guests, you will start automatically with the owner's shout and go straight to the destination. When you arrive at the destination, you will take the initiative to stop.

Most of the routes of the bus are short-distance, and the distance is often within one or two days.

In short, there are many kinds of vendors and businesses on this road.

Shanxi merchants and others make big money, and these people make some small money to use for food and clothing. In short, relying on the business path, anyone can make some money.

Zhangjiakou Fort is located in the north of the Great Wall, the Yanghe River in the south, and the Qingshui River in the west, and the geographical location is excellent.

The northeast and northwest are divided into the East Taiping Mountain and the West Taiping Mountain. The Great Wall follows the mountain ridge to the east and west, and a pass forms between the two mountains.

To the north is a narrow valley, which is a major transportation route.

Mongolian tribes are stationed outside for many years, which is one of the roads for Mongolia to invade the south.

To the south is an alluvial plain with an extremely flat terrain. Sixty miles away is the Xuanfu Town District.

If Zhangjiakou is weak and lost, Xuanfu Town and the capital will be in danger.

Therefore, Zhangjiakou Fort is actually the northwest gate of Xuanfu Town and plays an extremely important role.

The construction of Zhangjiabaokou originated from a construction of the Great Wall. General Tan Guang wrote a letter saying that the Great Wall has been disrepaired and requested additional troops to be built.

The court started from the overall situation and believed that it was not appropriate to build a large-scale construction, but only built key passes.

Zhangjiakou Fort was built, and as an affiliated castle to the Great Wall, it was not of high level, and the highest commander was ethics.

After being divided into Wanquan Left Guard, he was promoted to garrison, and then divided into Wanquan Right Guard, and became governor of the general.

After the peace talks between Longqing, Zhangjiakou Fort changed from a war model to a commercial center, and the city's commerce flourished.

The fortresses are used to trading with foreign barbarians, and shops are distributed like bicycle wheels. Every time they trade, more than ten thousand foreign barbarians come here, like ants, densely packed.

The strategic value of Zhangjiakou suddenly became extremely important.

It is also called Pidu.

Zhang Zongheng, who was training troops, finally received news from the court and his face became extremely exciting.

He never expected that Gao Chuangzhe would be so bold.

They rushed directly into Beijing, grabbed the top scholar paraded the streets and humiliated them, and even rushed to Huangji Gate, slashed and slashed in the square, and left.

His Majesty mobilized a large army to Baoding Prefecture to encircle and suppress this group of people, but this group of bandits is good at hiding and has not been found yet.

Didn’t Zhang Zongheng besiege Lu Wang in Changzhi, Shanxi?

After all, who doesn’t envy the Hammer Bandit He Jinchao who captured Taiyuan and obtained the wealth of King Jin?

These rebels all had the idea of ​​the vassal kings.

With He Jinchao, the leader, the rest of the rebels would do this even more.

"Sir, is this true?"

Governor Xuan Da looked at the news and looked disbelief.

How could the soldiers in the Beijing camp be so decayed?

The only rebels rushed into the palace. If the rebels hadn't done such a big explosion at Wang Gongchang, perhaps the emperor who was reviewing the memorials at the Huangji Sect would have been assassinated successfully!

At that time, the world will be in chaos and the country will not be in trouble.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zongheng and others were all scared.

"Sir, if Your Majesty did not siege these people in Baoding Prefecture, and if we were to march into Shanxi, the burden would be on you."

Listening to the governor's words, Zhang Zongheng nodded frequently.

However, the Hammer Bandits in Shanxi Town are even more difficult to deal with than the Gao Bandits. Even the Gao Bandits have the ability to break into the Huangji Sect. I really can't imagine whether the Hammer Bandit He Jinchao would do something to rush to the Xuanfu District.

If Shanxi Town wants to enter the capital, it must pass Xuanfu or go south to Zijing Pass.

If Wang Zhen had not wanted to show off in front of his hometown, and Yingzong would have been persuaded to leave Zijing Pass, there would have been no more study abroad.

Of course, is this matter Wang Zhen’s opinion? International students who turn back and become masters have the most say.

"This group of bandits pretended to be Liang Fu, the general of Baoding Prefecture, was all cavalrymen. Go and go back quickly, but it is difficult to capture."

The governor looked at the news in his hand and shook his head repeatedly:

"The army in the northern part of the capital went south one after another. Fortunately, the Mongols did not know about this, otherwise they would have taken the opportunity to cause trouble."

"etc."

Zhang Zongheng caught the diary and read it again. He suddenly remembered that when he was observing the newly recruited soldiers training on the city wall two days ago, a group of official troops passed by the official road outside the city.

Everyone rides horses and shows off their power.

The key is that many people are still one person and two horses.

Zhang Zongheng sent someone to inquire, and what he got was that he went to Zhangjiakou to do some business under the order of Duke Cheng Guo Zhu Chunchen.

The nobles not only have trades in the canal, but also trades in the trade points. This is common sense.

"I remember the name they reported was Liang Fu, the general of Baoding Prefecture!"

After Zhang Zongheng finished speaking, his face changed drastically.
