Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 540 Remnants of Shanxi Merchants Actively Donate

Because the scene was a county government office, after the border guards and Jin Yiwei captured Fan Yongdou and other Shanxi merchants who had been connected to the captives, they took them away, leaving only 31 business owners who had not been connected to the captives, or who had no evidence to prove that they were connected to the captives.

Although the tables and chairs in the yard were scattered, Chen Yu sat back on the grand master's chair, calm and composed.

He looked at the remaining proprietors of the business with a smile, and said: "The matter of building the horse market has not been finished yet, let's continue to talk... the donations for the construction of the horse market must be recorded by the official and reported to the court I know, the county will give relevant feedback on policies in the future, are you sure you will donate the little money before?"

The remaining proprietors were still in shock, and they couldn't help being stunned after hearing Chen Yu's words.

But those who dare to do business outside the mouth are very courageous, and there are almost no people who have not seen a murder scene in these years.

So soon someone calmed down and figured out what Chen Yu was saying.

Coupled with the fact that Fan Yongdou and others were captured by the border guards and Jin Yiwei, Zhangjiakou is destined to usher in a new era, an era in which the imperial court will dominate all aspects of affairs with a high probability.

Therefore, it is undoubtedly the most correct choice to hold on to the court's thigh at this time.

"My Chang family is willing to donate 3 taels!"

A young proprietor came back to his senses and shouted first.

When he shouted, the rest of the people couldn't help showing surprise, because as far as they knew, the total assets of Chang's firm were estimated to be only a few dozen taels, and they were willing to donate 3 taels.

It's really worth it.

Although the rest of the people were reluctant, but the proprietor of the Chang family had made a "good start", they had to keep up no matter what they thought, otherwise wouldn't they not give face to the government and the court?

So he gritted his teeth and re-reported the amount of donations——

"My family also donated 3 taels!"

"My Hou family donated 2 taels!"

"The Kang family donated 5000 taels!"

"···"

When the surviving Zhangjiakou business owners enthusiastically donated money, a large number of frontier guards who had been on standby for a long time, led by the staff of the Jinyiwei and the Military Intelligence Department, rushed to the mansion of Shanxi merchants such as the Eight Great Masters and others.

At the same time as the siege, they rushed in to take people by force.

These Shanxi merchants had a lot of nurses and bodyguards because of their business needs outside the customs, and they even had armor, crossbow bolts, and muskets in their possession.The respective mansions are also built like mazes and docks, with certain military capabilities.

But in front of the elite border guards, these are all vulnerable.

Anyone who was arrested by force was killed on the spot.

Those who defended the house and resisted were directly greeted by grenades.

All of a sudden, there were shouts of killing, explosions, screams, and wailing in the many mansions of Shanxi merchants in Zhangjiakou.

The rest of the people were ordered to stay at home by the border guards patrolling the streets and were not allowed to go out. They could only tremble listening to these voices.

There are also those small merchants, or those who have long been displeased with the Shanxi merchants, and even the enemies of these Shanxi merchants, rejoicing and applauding!

···
For the huge Ming Dynasty, the arrest of Shanxi merchants in Yanghewei and Xuanfu Zhangjiakou was not a very important matter for the huge Ming Dynasty.

At least not many people knew about it while it was happening.Maybe it will take a few days until this matter spreads throughout the world through Da Ming Pao, and its influence will spread.

Aimee Zhu didn't pay close attention to this matter either.

She has instructed everything that should be ordered, and if this matter fails in the end, it will be the problem of Jin Yiwei, the Military Intelligence Department, and Huang Degong, Yuan Zongdi and other generals of the border guards.

At this time, she was summoning Yang Zhan, the new military admiral of Yunnan, in the Wuying Hall.

After receiving the official transfer edict, Yang Zhan came to Nanjing by sea, much faster than Li Dingguo.It has been a few days since he came to Nanjing, and he was summoned by Aimee Zhu today.

After the ceremony, Auntie Zhu said directly, "I'm going to Yunnan as an admiral to put down the chaos in Shadingzhou, what do you think?"

Yang Zhan shook his head, "I don't know much about Yunnan, so I don't have any thoughts at this time."

Auntie Zhu nodded slightly.

It's a good thing that Yang Zhan stopped boasting when he didn't understand the situation.

In fact, she was quite worried that Yang Zhan would become arrogant after the Northern Expedition, and would not take Yunnan Tusi seriously.Historically, Yang Zhan has always been arrogant and domineering, defiant.

Now it seems that probably because of his different experience, Yang Zhan has more qualities of a qualified commander than in history.

Aunt Zhu said: "About the matter of Yunnan, I have had some discussions with the ministers of the Military Affairs Academy, so I will say something here first, just listen.

For more details, you can go to the Military Academy to find out later. If there is anything you don’t understand, you should also ask for clarification, and you must not pretend to understand. "

Yang Zhan nodded, "I understand."

"When you first go to Yunnan, you can let the officers and men of the third town of the frontier defense army adapt to the environment and climate there. If they can't adapt, they will be transferred to other frontier defense army units, and then the vacancies will be replenished from the local officers and troops.

In addition, it is necessary to start reorganizing the Yunnan official army into a garrison army - the biggest difficulty in fighting in Yunnan is its environment and climate, and only by using local soldiers can such difficulties be overcome.

The Shadingzhou Rebellion was not in such a hurry to quell it.Maybe Mu Guogui will be anxious and rush, but you don't have to pay attention to it.

At least enough Yunnan garrison troops must be trained before a war can be launched.In the meantime, the imperial court will order the civil servants to ask them to make some promises to Sha Dingzhou and other rebel chieftains so that they can be stabilized. "

Yang Zhan is not stupid, on the contrary he is very smart.

As soon as he heard it, he knew that the imperial court was taking the opportunity to take over the military power from Duke Mu of Yunnan, so that he could directly control Yunnan after the Shadingzhou Rebellion was put down.

Because as far as he knows, the military power in Yunnan is actually divided into two parts, one part is in the hands of Liuguan and related generals, and the other part is in the hands of Mu Guogong and Guishun Tusi.

Now that Mu Tianbo was expelled from Kunming by Sha Dingzhou, it is obvious that there are not many troops left in his hands.

After he left, he reorganized all the official armed forces in Yunnan into a garrison army, and when the Shadingzhou Rebellion was finally put down, Mu Tianbo became an empty prince.

Although they are both honorable, Yang Zhan did not have the slightest sympathy for Mu Tianbo, let alone think about Mu Tianbo.

After all, the Mu family is an old nobleman more than 200 years ago, and he is a new generation nobleman who followed Aimi Zhu, the two are completely different.

Therefore, when Auntie Zhu finished speaking, Yang Zhan showed a knowing look, and said: "I will remember your Majesty's instructions, train your troops carefully, and follow them slowly."

"Okay," Aunt Zhu nodded in satisfaction, "Then you can go to the Military Affairs Academy, where you can get more information about the chaos in Shadingzhou, Yunnan."

"Yes. The minister will leave."

Not long after Yang Zhan retreated, Huang Daozhou, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, came to Wuying Hall.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the examination papers and assessments have been completed. This is the list of all the tributes. Please have a look at it, Your Majesty."

After finishing speaking, Huang Daozhou presented a scroll, and Lianqiao handed it to Aimee Zhu.

The reason why scrolls are used is because the Gongshi list has a relatively large number of characters; the second is because of the importance attached to this matter.

Auntie Zhu opened the scroll and looked carefully.

Hao Guangming also saw the list with the help of his mobile phone camera, and suddenly discovered that there are several historical celebrities in it...
　Make up one more.

　　I still owe three more. . .

　　Good night~
