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, another figure rolled 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've 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. He and Hei Longyun are stationed at Zhangjiakou Fort."
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 spirit, 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 a 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 accommodate 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 family, and they followed the army. As a result, Zhangjiakou Yingjing was completely destroyed. Yang Fan didn't know how to arrange them. Just let them do what they want.
Then the servant group began to build tents and camp. Yang Fan's shogunate, personal soldiers, and logistics officers and soldiers were about five thousand. After choosing a place, we started setting 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 tricked these business groups quite a lot this time. Send these old men away in freezing cold weather. A cotton tent was specially arranged in the northwest corner, and some cast iron stoves and briquettes were allocated.
The buildings in the city had been razed, and they really had no place to spend the night. In this climate, it is 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 are worried and spending the night there. When Hu Ran saw that Yang Fan had sent people to set up camp, he was immediately moved and thanked him one after another.
The area assigned by the civil servants and censor happened to be the Fan family's place. Jinyiwei and Dongchang camped beside them.
The servants and soldiers dug the soil to set up camp. As they dug, a soldier suddenly dug a big hole.
"Hey, there's something here."
There are obviously many bags inside this hole. The handyman Hu Laoqi pulled out a cloth bag from the soil.
A group of censors were smoking and chatting nearby.
Cigarettes are now a fashionable item in official circles. Civil servants in particular carry metal cigarette boxes and fire certificates with them. Ready for smoking at any time.
They saw the handyman setting up camp and dug out a cloth bag. They all gathered around curiously to check it out.
"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 camp. In order to check and balance, Chongzhen arranged all the censors to be from Donglin.
The cloth bag was poured out.
There was a roar and there were more account books. Some young censors picked it up and looked at it, exclaiming: "Sir, this is the account book of the Fan family."
With a bang, all the censors came running over. You don’t need to check to know that after the Mongols took away all the people and property. I guess I wasn't interested in these account books, so I buried them all.
These things are useless to the Mongols, but it does not mean that they are useless to these censors. These things are of great use to them.
This is first-hand information. There were so many secrets in the account books of the eight major business groups that the censor suddenly became excited.
Wang Xiang, the vice-captain's imperial envoy, flashed his eyes. 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 advantage, they can be impeached for taking bribes.
However, with the free money in front of them, the gentlemen of Donglin really couldn't control their hands, now that they had accepted the money. It's just a grasshopper on a rope. Naturally, it’s not good to cause trouble again.
However, if the east is not bright, the west is bright. Now the financial backers behind 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 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, it was not just the account books that were unearthed. There are even letters. Customs declaration information for customs clearance over the years. Various customs procedures and specific items.
Wang Xiang sat in the tent, becoming more and more excited as he watched. The following dozen young Ke Dao censors were busy checking, and if they found any problems, they brought them to Wang Xiang.
"Sir, I discovered the correspondence between the Fan family and Fan Wencheng, the founding slave. There are also records of gift orders."
"Sir, I found records of the Fan family smuggling military firearms to the Haraqin tribe."
"My lord, I discovered the accounts of the Fan family bribing the ministers of the DPRK."
Wang Xiang became more and more excited as he watched. This trip was really not in vain. This time, all the secret connections between the eight major business groups and the Jin Party were discovered.
"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 Geda came in and whispered: "Master, those censors have really started to investigate. As soon as they dug out the account books, they all started digging around like they were pumped. 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 the army. The main purpose is to punish corruption, combat collusion between officials and businessmen, and clean up the guards and camps. Now I am just about to take a nap 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 for the Haraqin people. Together against Lin Dan Khan. These grains are also implemented by business groups.
Last year, the regiment killed so many people before taking the risk of wiping out Jiannu. The master was also in danger at that time, and someone even contacted the border army and sold all the Luzon bronze cannons to the Jian slaves. In the battle on the rocky beach, 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 Sit back and wait for death. Let them fight."
The 300 people from Jinyiwei who came this time 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.
