Zhu Youjian: Taizu has an order! kill!

From the day he traveled through time, Li Chen had been thinking about how to destroy these eight major Shanxi merchants.

Originally, Liaodong was bitterly cold, and even if it was given to the Tatars, they would not be able to run it.

Lack of food, lack of clothing, lack of iron, lack of everything!

Historically, the Guanning Defense Line, which Sun Chengzong spent all his efforts to build, blocked this group of Tatars but failed to block this group of businessmen.

According to the situation at that time, as long as they retreated and defended, Daming Moo could drag these wild boar skins to death.

After all, the Ming Dynasty was not the only place that suffered during the Little Ice Age at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

The living conditions in Houjin, which is already located in a bitter cold place, are even worse!

It's a pity that thanks to the continuous blood transfusions of these eight major Shanxi merchants, these post-Jin Tatars are living quite well.

When the Qing Dynasty finally took control of the Central Plains, this group of people even had the reputation of being an imperial merchant.

Anyway, this group of people would not regret dying!

Moreover, they are closely related to the imperial court, and they are behind many Donglin Party members.

Li Chen had endured it for a long time, and now the opportunity finally came!

"The eight major Shanxi merchants?"

"I know!"

"Don't worry Taizu, I will definitely handle it."

Regarding the things committed by the eight major Shanxi merchants, Zhu Youjian had long heard from Taizu.

To be honest, if Taizu hadn't stopped them before, I would have sent someone to kill these things.

Now that Taizu finally plans to take action against these bastards, he naturally won't have any objections!

I heard that these eight major Shanxi merchants are very rich.

Zhu Youjian is looking forward to how much money they can contribute when their home is ransacked!

---------------------------

Just when Li Chen was thinking about taking action against the eight major Shanxi merchants.

On the other side, Mao Wenlong and others are having a horse racing carnival in Hou Jin's capital!

At this time, Shenyang had turned into a sea of ​​fire, with corpses and ruins everywhere.

Obviously, Mao Wenlong's order to massacre the city was executed perfectly.

Especially the gang of assassins from the Dongjiang Army, who had a bloody hatred for the Houjin Tatars.

Since entering the city, these gangs of murderers have never stopped killing people!

Some people even cried while killing!

Like a madman!

But in the big tent outside the city, Mao Wenlong was not in a good mood at all.

Shenyang was captured, the city was massacred, and the tens of thousands of trapped Han people were rescued.

but...

There is really no oil or water!

The entire city of Shenyang was turned upside down and only a mere 300 million taels of silver were looted.

Mao Wenlong, who had even less food and grass, had no shame to look at it!

"It's so damn poor..."

"How can I deliver this little thing to His Majesty?"

"Damn it, I have a headache."

After counting the ledger in his hand again, Mao Wenlong couldn't help but rub his forehead while sitting in the main seat.

He originally thought that no matter how poor he was, he could earn tens of millions of silver.

The result is this?

The dignified queen is not as rich as former chief assistant Huang Liji!

What's the use of you?

"Normally, if they had money and food, they wouldn't loot every year."

"Hou Jin is a nomad and is not good at business. General Mao should be content with these gains."

"I believe your Majesty should also know that Houjin has nothing to talk about."

Liu Xingzuo, who was sitting beside him, was not surprised.

As the son-in-law of the late Jin Dynasty, he knew the family background of these barbarians very well.

Just one word!

poverty!

It is better to expect gold to grow in the ground than to expect these barbarians to have a few cents on their bodies.

Mao Wenlong rolled his eyes when he heard this, still feeling a little regretful in his heart.

And just when Mao Wenlong was wondering if he could go somewhere else to make more money.

A messenger ran in from the door.

"Report!"

"Leader Lu asked the general to come and deliver the message."

"The Tatars have reached the border and their forwards have torn apart Lindan Khan's position."

"It can take up to two days to reach the outskirts of Shenyang."

"According to your Majesty's order, once the Tatars enter Liaodong, the two armies will no longer pursue them."

"So General Mao is asked to withdraw immediately to prevent being bitten by the main force of Hou Jin."

what?

Has the striker ripped open Lin Dan Khan's defensive position?

Mao Wenlong was a little surprised when he heard this.

Come so fast!

"It seems that Lin Danhan is a smart man and knows how to preserve his strength."

"General Mao, now that the main force of Houjin is about to return for reinforcements, we should evacuate as soon as possible."

"After all, there are still those tortured Ming people in the team, so the march will be much slower."

Liu Xingzuo narrowed his eyes slightly and understood after thinking about it for a while.

Obviously, Lin Danhan is working hard but not putting forth his efforts.

Normally, no matter how hard the Mongolian people stretch their hips, it will still be no problem if it takes one or two days.

As a result, it broke into pieces at the first touch. It was obvious that he had no intention of confronting the Tatars.

"Oh, I didn't count on them."

"Like the Houjin Tatars, they are just foreigners."

"I was thinking whether we should simply attack downwards and cooperate with Lu Xiangsheng and the others to flank the Tatars again!"

"These Tatars have traveled long distances and have been constantly harassed. Their combat effectiveness is estimated to be less than [-]%."

"Maybe we can defeat it directly!"

Mao Wenlong looked at the map and waved his hand without looking back.

He didn't trust these foreigners at all, and he was not surprised by Lin Danhan's behavior.

What he is thinking now is whether he should take the opportunity to fight again!

"what?"

"General, absolutely not!"

Next to him, Liu Xingzuo, who was originally calm, exploded after hearing these words!

He stood up and stopped him with a serious face.

Seeing Liu Xingzuo's reaction, Mao Wenlong frowned slightly and turned to look at him.

"Why not?"

"Can't you see this is an opportunity?"

"Maybe we can catch Huang Taiji directly."

opportunity?

Liu Xingzuo's mouth twitched twice, feeling helpless.

Of course he can see that this is a good opportunity, but if it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work!

"General, don't forget, His Majesty's order is for you to attack Shenyang."

"Right now, we have already exceeded our mission and there is no need to add any more unnecessary extravagance."

"To put it bluntly, His Majesty must be extremely knowledgeable if he dares to set up such a big game."

"Your Majesty can definitely see what you can see."

"If His Majesty wants to take advantage of the victory and pursue the attack, we will not wait until now for orders from the main force of Jin behind the flanking attack."

"What does this mean? It means that His Majesty wants stability!"

"Right now, if the general disobeys orders and rashly attacks Houjin's main force, the consequences will be disastrous if he loses."

"Even if you win the battle, do you think His Majesty would dare to re-appoint a general who doesn't obey orders?"

"Besides, even if His Majesty believes you, don't forget that the officials in the court have long disliked you. If you dare to disobey orders, they will dare to impeach you until you die!"

"His Majesty promoted you to this position under a lot of pressure. You must not cause any more trouble to His Majesty."

What Liu Xingzuo said was extremely sincere.

Mainly because he was panicking!

Now he and Mao Wenlong are together, and if Mao Wenlong commits a crime, he will also suffer the same consequences.

Isn't it just to find a way out that I drag my family with me to fight against gold?

Now that Shenyang has been destroyed and he has already become a hero of the imperial court, there is really no need to engage in such dangerous actions.

Damn it, if you want to cause trouble, don't bring me with you!
