Walking in the infinite world

Chapter 80 Fan Yongdou's Psycho (First Update)
The term Jinshang was once famous in later generations.

In the Qing Dynasty, the top 16 big financial groups in the country were all in Shanxi.Shanxi merchants ranked first in the national business gang, and dominated the business world for more than 500 years.

Among the prominent group of Shanxi merchants, the most famous are the Eight Great Masters of Shanxi Shanxi merchants.These eight masters refer to the eight masters of Qiao Chang, Cao Hou, Qu Kang, and Fan Kong.

Of course, it is not to say that all Shanxi merchants are collaborating with the enemy and treason.Because at this time, many of them have not yet risen.However, the Fan family, who Lu Xiao focused on, was not the same.

Fan Yongdou, the head of the Fan family.Speaking of which, this one is quite famous.

After the Northern Tartars took off, they were actually on the verge of collapse several times in the middle.The main reason is that at the beginning, the heritage of the Ming army was still there, the important towns in the north had sufficient ordnance, and the soldiers still had the will to fight.Even after the failure of the Battle of Sarhu, the Ming army still fought such victories as the Zhenjiang Victory and the Ningyuan Victory.

Among them, in the Ningyuan Victory, the Ming army used red-clothed artillery to beat the Tartars to the ground, causing heavy casualties.And the Tartars who failed to conquer Ningyuan could only retreat to the deep mountains.This battle is also an important political capital of Yuan Chonghuan.

But because the raid failed, their food was far from enough to last through the winter.And just when the Tartars were at a loss.The Shanxi merchant team led by Fan Yongdou appeared.

They spent a lot of money to get through various joints and avoid the blockade of the Ming army.A large amount of food was transported into the mountains to aid the Tartars! ! ! !

You must know the mountain roads that the Tartars themselves were unwilling to take.It was actually passed by these Shanxi merchants.

In this round, the Fan family risked their lives to help the enemy of the Ming Dynasty. How can I describe it?Sorry for my lack of knowledge, I really don't know what to say.

The final result is that the Tartars, relying on the food of Shanxi merchants and the support of intelligence, successfully spent the most difficult winter.After recuperating, the later Tartars entered the customs.Otherwise, the Tartars' vitality will be severely damaged just by being killed and injured by freezing and starvation in one winter.Ten or eight years have not been able to cultivate.

Such behavior made Lu Xiao have long noticed the existence of these Shanxi merchants.It's just that there are too many places to spend money in the Ming Dynasty.If these guys are dealt with in advance, the money will not reach him.

Now, the right to train troops has been obtained, and even some people have been recruited.When Lu Xiao was most short of money, of course he had to withdraw the money he had saved.

In recent years, these Shanxi merchants have provided food and grass to the Tartars.When the Tartars are full, they loot in Liaodong.Use the looted money to repay these Shanxi merchants.Except for a few important towns in Liaodong, the whole of Liaodong was beaten to scorched earth.The accumulation of thousands of years has all fallen into the hands of the Tartars, and then transferred to the hands of these Shanxi merchants.

Such a huge accumulation made it the leader of the national business gang.

At this time, Fan Yongdou was counting the goods.When winter is over, his master must go out hunting again.As a slave, of course, he must feed his master first.Otherwise, how can you have the strength to hunt?
Therefore, this time Fan Yongdou prepared a large amount of food and weapons from the south.Prepare to leave the joints that were opened before and transport them into Liaodong.Let his master eat and go out to hunt.

But what he didn't notice was that some of his buddies looked at him strangely.

Few people know how much Fan Yongdou has.But Fan Yongdou himself knew very well.After all, he is a businessman, and he is particularly sensitive to money.Over the years, he has accumulated a fortune of tens of millions of taels.In addition to the bank, it is more hidden in various hidden residences, cellars and other places.

Many of them are permanently sealed.Only the next owner will know.It is used for turning over when the family encounters a crisis of overturning.

Lu Xiao sent someone to infiltrate his caravan many years ago.It took five full years to basically figure out all his hiding places.

"All cheer me up. This batch of supplies is urgently needed in Liaodong. If it is not delivered in time, this year's dividends will be reduced by half."

As soon as these words were said, those guys immediately started to work like chicken blood.

It is worth mentioning that Shanxi merchants did not act collectively.That scene is really too big.They will prepare materials in advance and enter Liaodong in batches.

After feeding the defenders of the major gates, you can successfully enter the mountain.This time, Tartar hurried.Fan Yongdou knew that this was because the other party was preparing for a large-scale entry battle.For this reason, he deliberately worked overtime just to be able to feed his master before the fight began.

But I don't know what happened, Fan Yongdou felt a little uneasy today.He has checked the shipment three times without any problems.After thinking about it, I could only think that I was a little nervous.After all, the scale this time around is unprecedented.

After the goods were ready, the entire team traveled day and night.Fan Yongdou personally took the lead, but soon he became drowsy because of his old age.Back to the carriage to rest.

After an unknown time, Fan Yongdou woke up.He felt the caravan stop.I know it's time to rest.So he called his servants to get him something to eat.

But after shouting a few times, no one answered at all.He was a little puzzled, because he clearly heard the voices of many people outside.Why is no one answering his words?This group of dog slaves really needs to be cleaned up.

Fan Yongdou was furious and jumped out of the carriage, ready to teach his servant a lesson.But when he pulled down the carriage, he felt something was wrong.

There were a lot of people out there, a lot of people.And these people are not his buddies at all, as far as the eyes can see, there is no one who knows them.The point is, at this point these people are moving the cargo in their own vehicles.

Fan Yongdou snorted, and the whole person almost fell to the ground.

Is this a case of rogue robbers?But when you think about it, it feels a little wrong.Because if it was a rogue, how could it be possible to get rid of all his buddies silently and odorlessly.You must know that he has hired a group of martial arts warriors as guards.Ordinary robbers and robbers would not dare to approach a caravan of their size.

Moreover, Fan Yongdou is very experienced, and the route he takes avoids those large-scale rogues.The mountain bandit Roadhog along the way has already taken care of it.Arguably this shouldn't happen.

But now, all the guys have disappeared without a sound.A group of strangers are carrying their own goods.The key is that everyone is busy with their own affairs, and no one cares about them.As if it were transparent.

The only good news is that he is still alive and unscathed.This shows that the other party knows himself, and there should be room for manoeuvre in this matter.

Fan Yongdou gritted his teeth and stopped a young man who was carrying food.

"This strong man, dare to ask, I don't know who you are in charge of? In the next Fan Yongdou, I asked the strong man to introduce me, and I will thank you afterwards."

However, the other party just raised his head, glanced at him with a strange look, and then walked around him with a bag of grain on his back.Not a word was said from beginning to end.

Fan Yongdou only felt cold all over his body, and an inexplicable fear came to his heart.This time, it's not just the fear of losing the shipment.He now has a sense of impending doom.
