Chapter five hundred and sixty fifth enclosure
?Shanxi Jiexiu Fanzhai.com
The hot summer has arrived. Fan Yongdou was wearing a short jacket and walked around under the willow forest. The breeze was blowing by, and the willow forest rustled, bringing a hint of coolness.
I saw Fan Yongdou sometimes stop and step forward, frowning tightly.
In recent years, most of the affairs of the Fan family have been handed over to Fan Sanba. Fan Yongdou served as the spiritual leader of the Fan family, and led the huge family to stagger forward spiritually.
Since she doesn't care about things, Fan Yongdou rarely concentrates on thinking like this. Obviously, what she encounters today is very important.
Since the beginning of the year, the Fan family has suddenly cut off their ties with the Tartars and quickly pulled their hands from the border trade. It is conceivable that the pressure Fan Yongdou faces.
At the beginning, Wang Xiyun headed north along the canal and quickly headed to Dorgon's camp. The Fan family knew it well, but it was secretly unanimous. After Chen Qiyu suddenly visited and after some analysis, Fan Yongdou realized that the Tartars would definitely be defeated this time.
Chen Qiyu advised Fan Yongdou to give up the connection with the Tartars and instead focus on the Ming Dynasty, whose population is a hundred times that of the Tartars. From the perspective of commercial profit alone, there are benefits but no harm.
How could Fan Yongdou make a quick decision when it involves more than 50% of the profit sources? Until Chen Qiyu told Fan Yongdou that Yang Sichang had a big move recently, intending to use the experience of the Fan family to create a new situation in the court. Fan Yongdou finally made up his mind to take advantage of the attention of the Qing Tartars to be attracted by Shandong and quickly pulled his hands from Liaodong, and the funds and people escaped completely.
The reason why Fan Yongdou made such a great determination was nothing more than seeing the Tartars gradually decline under the attack of the Jingzhou army, and being able to cooperate with the court and wear the hat of an imperial merchant. However, Fan Yongdou never expected that his cooperation with the court was not yet obvious. Sun Chuanting and the Cavalry Army actually fought against each other and started fighting each other.
Fan Yongdou was worried about the future of the Fan family, so he was naturally in a heavy mood and tried his best to think about solutions.
"Grandpa, grandson has something to repay!"
Suddenly, Fan Yubin's voice came from behind Fan Yongdou. Fan Yubin became more and more calm and was more and more valued by Fan Yongdou. At Fan Yongdou's instructions, Fan Sanba handed over public relations, intelligence and other matters to Fan Yubin.
Although Fan Yubin tried his best to remain calm, there was a tremolo in his voice. Fan Yongdou turned around and looked at Fan Yubin who could not hide his joy. He was in a good mood and asked, "What happy event?"
Fan Yongdou asked, and Fan Yubin just showed his joy. "Jirgalang lost a lot under the joint attack of Sheng Kunshan and Sun Chuanting, and was running desperately in the depths of the grassland..."
Fan Yongdou was stunned for a moment. After a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It turns out that Sheng Kunshan and Sun Chuanting were in a play. No wonder Jiergalang was deceived, and even the court was hidden! Tell me the details."
Fan Yubin said with a smile: "The Cavalry Army, the Wu Guard Army, and Sun Chuanting's Shaanxi soldiers are all the strongest troops in the Ming Dynasty, and the transfer speed is very fast. Especially the Cavalry Army and the Wu Guard Army led by Sheng Kunshan, it took only three days to reach Ertaizi. After entering Ertaizi, Sheng Kunshan divided the troops and ordered Zhang Fengyi to lead a unit of the Wu Guard Army to raid the Nanmoqiu, where the Tartars had stockpiled prisoners and goods that were still not yet transported away..."
Fan Yongdou asked in confusion: "Divide the troops? There are only six or seven thousand people in Sheng Kunshan, how can he be the opponent of the Tartars?"
Fan Yubin laughed and said, "It should not be an opponent! It's just that Jirgalang was scared out of fear. Before he could wait for the Mongolian Light Cavalry and the Korean army to withdraw from Xiwan Fort, he led his troops to escape. Sheng Kunshan's opponents were actually only more than 10,000 Korean troops and a small number of Mongolian Light Cavalry."
Fan Yongdou said with an oh, "So that's it. So, the Korean army and the Mongolian light cavalry have been wiped out under the joint attack of Sheng Kunshan and Sun Chuanting?"
"How can you survive? Sheng Kunshan blocked the retreat of the Korean army and the Mongolian light cavalry, and did not attack. When Sun Chuanting arrived, he launched an attack. In the battle, countless surrendered! Lin Chunhong got thousands of free miners, haha..."
Fan Yongdou smiled and shook his head: "It's more than a few thousand? Where is Zhang Fengyi's road?"
Fan Yubin said: "Zhang Fengyi rescued more than 20,000 prisoners, and the amount of goods was unknown. Among the 20,000 people, most of them were Xuanda border residents, and were sent home by Huang Bo. However, there were more than 5,000 prisoners from the four Aohan tribes, and Huang Bo regarded them as treasures!"
"baby?"
Fan Yubin said: "Isn't it a baby? Grandpa, please think, the four tribes of Aohan were destroyed by Jirhalang, and they hated the Jurchen Tartars to the core. They had nowhere to go on the grassland and could only rely on Lin Chunhong to survive. Wouldn't they be loyal to Lin Chunhong?"
Fan Yongdou nodded and agreed. Suddenly, Fan Yongdou felt aroused and asked, "Where did Zhang Fengyi send the four captives of Aohan?"
Fan Yubin said: "Of course I sent it to Shuozhou. According to the imperial decree, the cavalry army should have been stationed in Shuozhou. It is reported that Huang Bo demarcated nearly 100,000 acres of grassland in the north of Shuozhou for the remaining four divisions of Aohan to grazle and survive, and said that if anyone dared to invade this area, he would be retaliated."
Fan Yongdou was silent for a while before saying, "It's scary! It's scary! Call your father here quickly, I have something important to give me!"
...
Fan Yubin's information was quite accurate. After the war, Sheng Kunshan indeed led the cavalry army and brought more than 5,000 Mongolians to Shuozhou to station, while Zhang Fengyi led the Wuwei army through Yanmen Pass, passed Dai County and Taiyuan, and returned to Qinshui.
Huang Bo and Zhang Fengyi were in the opposite direction. They passed Yanmen Pass from Qinshui to Shuozhou.
The north of Shuozhou has always been a place where the Ming army and the Mongols were tug-of-war. Even if there was no war, no one dared to go to this area to graz. Since Lin Chunhong decided to build a ranch north of Shuozhou, land was not a problem. There were large areas of unmanned areas there, and forage was not a problem. The forage there grew wildly and was extremely plump. The most difficult problem was that it was difficult to recruit people.
During this period, Huang Bo jumped up and down in Shanxi and recruited people everywhere, but the result was extremely bleak, and he didn't even recruit two hundred people. Ordinary refugees, even if they were hungry, their stomachs were pressed against their backs, would tilt their hands whenever they heard that they were going out of Yanmen Pass and refused firmly.
Just when Huang Bo was at a loss, Sheng Kunshan and Zhang Fengyi easily helped him solve this problem. Huang Bo was overjoyed and immediately went to Shuozhou to demarcate the pastures and properly resettle the Mongolians.
It is not easy for these Mongolians to survive. They have not become slaves to other tribes. They are even more abnormal. They can still have grasslands and be protected by the Cavalry Army. They are overjoyed and regard the Cavalry Army as their rebirth parents.
Huang Bo took advantage of the situation and agreed with the Mongolians to pay five kilograms of wool per mu of grassland every year, or 300 coins for copper coins. The Mongolians agreed to start raising sheep and horses north of Shuozhou.
In fact, there were a large number of Mongolians in the cavalry army, and most of these Mongolians also came from the four tribes of Aohan near the Ming Dynasty. When the tribesmen met, they were even more crying and vowed to fight Liaodong and avenge their tribesmen. The Mongolians' hearts quickly moved closer to Jingzhou, which was expected.
Just as Huang Bo was so busy that he was not touching the ground, Fan Yubin suddenly came to Shuozhou and handed him a message.
Jingzhou and Shanxi merchants were almost two parallel lines. The two sides deliberately avoided business exchanges and had almost no intersection. What happened to Fan Yubin suddenly visited this time?
Huang Bo was suspicious and welcomed Fan Yubin in. Fan Yubin didn't talk nonsense to Huang Bo, and directly suggested that he wanted to rent a 300,000 mu of pasture north of Shuozhou, with a rent of 120,000 yuan per year.
In addition, Fan Yubin proposed that the Jingzhou army should provide protection for the grassland, hoping that the grassland you rented can be secured at Sany Society.
Huang Bo wished that all the merchants in the world could see the benefits of raising sheep and flocked to the north of Shuozhou to invest. Anyway, the north of Shuozhou was a land that was unparalleled, so Jingzhou gained great profits as a result, and its power gradually expanded northward and penetrated deep into the grassland.
Fan Yubin's move is exactly what Huang Bo wants.
However, Huang Bo knew that Lin Chunhong was extremely disgusted with these Shanxi merchants and would suppress them as long as they had the opportunity. Will Lin Chunhong agree to cooperate with the Fan family?
Huang Bo did not dare to be proficient, so he had to tell him frankly that this matter would require the consent of Jingzhou, and then send Fan Yubin out of Shuozhou politely.
When Lin Chunhong received Huang Bo's report, combined with the information from the Military Information Department some time ago, he was very clear about Fan Yongdou's thoughts.
Fan Yongdou completely cut off his ties with the Qing Tartars. The change in strength comparison was the most fundamental reason, but the role Chen Qiyu played in it should not be underestimated. The most fundamental factor for Chen Qiyu to play a role is Yang Sichang's promise.
"Yang Sichang's ambition is quite big... It's a pity that the rotten court can carry his ambition?"
Lin Chunhong was quite skeptical about whether the court could successfully promote major events.
As for Fan Yongdou's desire to raise sheep in Shuobei, it was to leave a way out for the Fan family. Fan Yongdou was a merchant, and merchants were like soldiers, the most pragmatic group. As long as Fan Yongdou was not blind, he would definitely see that Jingzhou's hard power was far superior to the court. Now, Fan Yongdou worked closely with the court and put on the hat of the imperial merchant. If the Ming Dynasty exists for one day, he will naturally enjoy endless benefits. However, what if the court is overturned by Lin Chunhong?
For the sake of the family and life of the Fan family, Fan Yongdou had to consider this possibility.
To keep Lin Chunhong from moving the Fan family, just donating huge silver like Shen Wanshan is obviously not enough to save his life. Shen Wanshan's death was a pity, which is proof of this. The best way to make the Fan family safe is to integrate part of the interests of the Fan family with the interests of Jingzhou.
In this way, even if Lin Chunhong wants to move the Fan family, he has to worry about hurting himself. When he is afraid of taking the mouse, he will wear an extra layer of protective clothing for the Fan family.
Obviously, raising sheep together with Huang Bo, placing the interests of the Fan family under the protection of Jingzhou, and placing part of the financial resources of Jingzhou under the management of the Fan family is the best way to integrate.
Lin Chunhong waved his pen and agreed to Fan Yubin's request.
Lin Chunhongye knew about the big moves between the Fan family and the court, but he did not take them seriously. With Jingzhou's strong strength, it is not easy to crush the fragile court and the Fan family in turmoil?
Since the Fan family wants to do something that is beneficial to Jingzhou, why should they refuse? I beg for sharing
