After more than two months of long journey, finally, on May 14, Fan Yongdou and his party arrived safely in Beijing controlled by the Qing Dynasty. This time, Fan Yongdou was surprised that he and his party were treated like heroes.●⌒

When the group arrived in Beijing, not only the children of the Fan family, but also Fan Yongdou himself was shocked: Regent Dorgon, Da Beile Daishan, Grand Secretary Fan Wencheng, and the leader of the Inlaid Banner Jiergalang were greeting outside Zhangyi Gate. Although Emperor Shunzhi did not come, this was already a supreme honor for a small businessman.

Shunzhi was still young, and now Dorgon is in charge of the government and is known as the regent. Dorgon has the final say in the matters of the court. In addition, Daishan, Jirgalang and others also went out of the city to welcome him, and the one who greeted him was still a small businessman, which was not an exaggeration to be flattered.

Fan Yongdou was frightened and jumped off his horse, ran a few steps to stop about one foot away from Dorgon, and said respectfully: "Xiaomin met the Regent and the Princes and the Banner Lords. I don't know that so many princes came to greet him. I am really frightened and I am ashamed to take responsibility."

"Hahaha, Mr. Fan, I've worked hard all the way." Dorgon personally helped Fan Yongdou up and said boldly.

Dai Shan also said with a smile: "Mr. Fan is our old friend. There is a saying in the Chinese: "You have friends coming from afar, and it's a great pleasure. When an old friend comes, we should welcome it."

Jirgalang said emotionally: "If Mr. Fan had helped me in time, I sent someone to warn me. Jirgalang would not live today. I haven't seen you some days. This time I return to Beijing, we must be drunk until we finish it."

Everyone surrounded Fan Wencheng and asked about his well-being. For a moment, people felt an illusion that it was like a group of subordinates welcoming superiors. The people around them felt incredible when they saw it from afar.

Others were not in harmony, but Fan Tianjun, who was following Fan Yongdou, knew that the Fan family was doing business in Zhangjiakou and Mongolia. After seven generations, they had always had close ties with the Qing Dynasty. They were still called the Jurchens at that time. Especially during the Little Ice River Age, the Ming Dynasty, which had developed agriculture, was hungry and captive everywhere, and the Qing Dynasty, with low production capacity, was even worse. It can be said that Shanxi merchants led by Fan Yongdou risked scouting their homes and exterminated their clans and kept secretly transporting important materials such as food, iron, cloth, etc. to the Qing Dynasty, which helped the Qing Dynasty survive that most difficult time.

In the most difficult time, Huang Taiji sent people to check the food in the surrendered people's homes. If there was no surplus grain, they would be killed without mercy, because he believed that if these people were hungry and anxious, they would riot and bring turmoil to society. From this we can see what kind of danger the Later Jin Dynasty reached back then.

Of course, what Fan Yongdou brought to the Qing Dynasty was not only important strategic materials, but also sent people to collect important information. Jilehalang got the information sent by Fan Yongdou and escaped the disaster of death. This is also the case, so Jierhalang was so enthusiastic about Fan Yongdou.

Fan Tianjun finally understood what his clan leader said. He said he would rather be a happy businessman than be an official in the court. Just look at the current situation. As an excellent businessman, Fan Yongdou firmly believed in the principle of making money by being harmonious. He got along well with all the forces of the Qing Dynasty and had a very good relationship with the people. So, the relationship between the Great Bele Daishan and the Regent Dorgon was actually average. Many of the powerful and nobles who came to greet him had average feelings and even some disharmonious feelings, but they all gave Fan Yongdou face and let go of prejudice.

If you become an official, you have to take sides. In this way, no matter how you do, you will offend some people. The water in the officialdom is too deep and you won’t know how you die accidentally. It’s better to be a businessman safely.

Of course, there is another reason why so many nobles came to welcome him this time because the two bought a large number of firearms and ammunition this time. This was the thing that the Qing Dynasty longed for, and they all wanted to get a piece of the pie, so they came so well. This ginger is still so spicy. Not long after placing a large order, Sichuan announced that it would suspend sales. After repeated efforts, the order signed earlier was still completed.

Fan Tianjun is increasingly impressed by his old patriarch.

The group exchanged greetings outside the city gate, but did not go to any mansion or restaurant to welcome the weather, but went straight to the military camp on the outskirts of the city. The upper class of nobles who moved from Shengjing could not wait to see the power of the new muskets, so the crowd went straight to the military camp.

This nation on the horse's back is really impatient.

After arriving at the military camp, Fan Yongdou was surprised that Emperor Shunzhi and Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang were also there. It seemed that the Qing Dynasty attached great importance to the performance of the firearms.

"Mr. Fan, where is the firearm? The Empress Dowager and the Emperor are waiting to see." After the Jin Dynasty ceremony, Dorgon said straight to the point.

This performance was carefully planned by Dorgon, with the purpose of further stubbornness in his prestige.

The Qing Dynasty had a total of eight banners, including the Zhenghuang, the Yellow, the Zhengbai, the Zhengbai, the Zhengbai, the Zhengbai, the Zhengbai, the Zhengbai, the Zhengbai Banner, the Zhengbai Banner, the Zhengbai Banner was personally led by Huang Taiji. He was called the "Shang Sanqi". The other five banners, the Zhenghong Banner, the Inlaid Red Banner, the Inlaid White Banner, the Inlaid White Banner, the Inlaid White Banner, the Inlaid White Banner, the Inlaid White Banner, the Inlaid Blue Banner, the Inlaid White Banner, the Inlaid Blue Banner, the Inlaid White Banner, the Inlaid Blue Banner, the Inlaid White Banner, the Inlaid Blue Banner are called the "Slow Five Banners", and are under the jurisdiction of the Prince, Beile, and Beizi.

In various places, after Huang Taiji's death, the most powerful ones were Dorgon and Daishan, who held the two flags of Guan Zhenghong and Yinghong. In addition, Huang Taiji's eldest son Haoge was old and had no interest in fighting. Finally, the contradictions were concentrated on the two yellow flags headed by Haoge and the two white flags headed by Dorgon and Duoduo. The old and treacherous Dorgon saw that he could not support himself, so he retreated and took the young Fulin as the emperor, and supported him with everyone. As a result, he won Daishan's support and became the regent.

After becoming the regent, Dorgon promoted his Zhengbai Banner to the upper three Banners and demoted the original Zhenglan Banner to the lower three Banners, which caused many twists and turns.

After years of operation, Dorgon had successfully suppressed Haoge and successfully controlled the two flags of Zhenghuang and Yinghuang. In this way, they had the four flags of Zhenghuang, Yinghuang, Zhengbai and Yingbai, and were strong. Because Daishan adopted neutrality, Dorgon covered the sky with only one hand in the Qing Dynasty. After the Shanhaiguan battle, he knew that after the Dashun army retreated, Dorgon sent three large armies to chase and kill, namely Ajige, Duoduo and Wu Sangui. Wu Sangui was a general of the former surrender of the Qing Dynasty and had a grudge against Li Zicheng to kill his father, while Ajige and Duoduo were Dorgon's younger brothers.

After a brother led his army to chase him, Dorgon then managed Beijing with peace of mind.

Some of the firearms purchased by Fan Yongdou this time were handed over to the frontline soldiers, and most of them were used to guard the capital. The upper three flags guarding the imperial city were all in the hands of Dorgon, which was to take the opportunity to expand his strength.

In order to buy these muskets, Dorgon even used the conditions for exchange with the beauties of the Eight Banners. It was not too much for the three flags to add the inlaid white flags. Daishan's Zhenghong and the two inlaid red flags were too much. After all, he was a neutral force, so it would be bad to offend him and push him to the opposite side. Therefore, Jiergalang's Zhenglan's Zhenglan became the main force of the exchange, and one-third of the women were picked out from the Zhenglan flag. For this reason, Jiergalang made the bannermen spit out how much spit they spit behind their backs, and some people poisoned their flocks at night to vent their anger, which made Jiergalang's prestige lose.

In this way, how can Jirgalang not be angry?

"Oh, Brother Six thinks these new muskets don't work much?" Dorgon didn't care. He asked with interest while stroking the new musket in his hand.

Jiergalang said without hesitation: "Of course, my Qing Dynasty soldiers are strong and the cavalry of the Qing Dynasty are dominant. After fighting with the Ming Dynasty for so many years, the Ming army has artillery and muskets, but how did we fear it? Haven't we hit Beijing again and again? Over the years, we have snatched so many beauties, wealth, cattle and sheep, and that time we used firearms to steal it? No, we didn't send our people to the most difficult time. This time we gave such a young and beautiful woman, it was simply......"

I originally wanted to say that Dorgon deliberately reduced his population, but when he thought of the two white flags, he didn't dare to offend him fiercely.

"Oh, it seems that Brother Six is ​​very resentful. Otherwise, let's play a game with this new type of musket." Dorgon narrowed his eyes and said with a smile. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
