Zhangjiakou was originally Daming in the northern horse city, the so-called horse market is not only used to trade livestock, but regularly open a large market, merchants from Shanxi use the northern grassland needs tea, salt, cloth and other things to exchange cattle and sheep horses, fur and other specialties on the grassland, in order to obtain profits, because of the lack of materials on the grassland, so they got a high profit, and through the monopoly of this trade road and accumulated a large amount of wealth.

Speaking of Jinshang, their home originated in the early Ming Dynasty, after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the focus of national defense in the north, mainly to prevent the Mongols from making a comeback, Zhu Jia Dynasty deployed millions of troops on the northern border, which requires a large amount of military materials.The court paid for salt and encouraged merchants to transport grain pasture to the border plug, which is the "open middle system" of the Ming Dynasty.The so-called "salt introduction" is to obtain the amount of vouchers for the purchase and sale of salt under the conditions of the government's exclusive control of the salt industry.Shanxi businessmen keenly capture this business opportunity, they from Henan, Shandong and Jiangnan region to transport food to the northern border town, in exchange for "salt", and then turn to the two Huaihuai, Hedong, Sichuan and other places to produce salt with "salt" to buy salt, and finally to the rest of the country to sell salt profit, it can be said that they can have today's wealth is precisely because of the needs of the north, but in order to seek more profits, they began to act as a bar.

After the establishment of slavery, the Ming court strictly ordered the sale of food, iron and other things to the northern barbarians, if this policy can be unswervingly implemented, then the lack of food and iron to build slaves can not live are two different things, not to mention the future can not rule the world; now is the small ice age, Liaodong land although vast, but not much, the output of food can not even meet the needs of the slaves, and their smelting technology is even worse, so their smelting technology is even worse.It was only after he had taken a large number of craftsmen from the Great Ming that he had slightly improved.

However, merchants are in pursuit of interests for the purpose, as long as there is a amount of profit they will risk the risk of beheading, so after the court ordered the ban on the break with Liaodong, there are always Jin merchants who are not afraid of death, regardless of the ban of the Ming Dynasty government, wading through the water and trading with Manqing to provide various life and military materials for the establishment of slaves.

Now it has formed a chain of interests, the construction of slaves into the customs and looting, from the people of Daming to plunder, and then these goods stained with the blood of the people of Daming are cheaply sold to the merchants, and these merchants provide the slaves with their much-needed grain and grass, iron weapons are weapons, intelligence, they lie in the blood of the people of Daming people.

In the imperial court, these merchants are also fully prepared, they are in the same place to support those who came from poor, but quite talented students, while and the court bigs to marry to strengthen their own forces, such as the four-dimensional auxiliary Zhang four-dimensional, the military department of the book Wang Chonggu can be said to be the power of the merchants in the court.

Use a lot of money to balance the local officials, and the court big man to form a party, the commercial use of this means to protect their own security, and then after the full clearance into the customs into a full Qing Dynasty merchants, it can be said that with the blood of the Daming people for their family to earn a hundred years of wealth.

In order to solve the problem of slavery, Jinshang has become a force that Li You must deal with, if he stays in the city under the holy decree to deal with these people, I am afraid that in the court will be rejected by those court officials who wear a pair of pants with the Jinshang; even if they reluctantly pass, the sent Chin difference will also be giddy by the merchant's silver, at most catch one or two small shrimp rice to cope with the errand, and do not play a role in the business of Liaodong.

So Li You immediately came with the soldiers and horses to Zhangjiakou after he drove the emperor Tai Chi out of the gate, and he wanted to personally solve this cancer that was constantly sucking blood on Daming.

These promotions were still doing the acquisition of the fortunes that the emperor's tai chi had been robbed after entering the customs a few days ago, and then earned a dream of hard work, who could think that the emperor tai chi had lost so quickly, so until Li Yu's army surrounded Zhangjiakou, they woke up and turned around and hurriedly closed the four-way gate.

“What kind of horse is it?What’s going on in the house?”The defenders on the wall asked tremblingly, they were clear about the deeds of these Jinshang, and they were still transporting grain and grass for the emperor Taiji a few days ago, and it was reasonable to say that it was impossible to build slaves to attack them, and the local soldiers and horses had already been fed by them, so who was this army?

"I am the military department still book king, ordered by the emperor to thoroughly investigate the violation of the imperial ban, collusion with the construction of slaves, etc. are not fast to open the door!"Wang has also heard the prestige of the promotion before, and has also received their courtesy in Beijing, but now he dare not say a word to these people.

This word is like a clear sky, the soldiers at the head of the city and the merchants in the city are shocked by the black eyes, the court actually sent so many soldiers and horses to clean them up?How is this good?

The merchants who colluded with the slaves took Fan Yongdou, Wang Dengku, Jin Liang Yu, Wang Dayu, Liang Guest, Tian Shenglan, Zhaitang, Huang Yun eight, these eight were also full of Qingfeng as the eight imperial merchants, and Fan Yongdou was one of the most powerful among them, and everyone was looking at him, so when they heard this news, they immediately found Fan Yongdou to discuss countermeasures.

“Is that unreasonable?His Majesty led the Beijing camp royal drive, Wang Qi on the side of the wait, 100,000 Beijing camp to comply with only less than 30,000 people, sweat hand has 100,000 elite, this battle of victory does not want to know, this Wang Qian how to run to the Zhangjiakou?Do you have so many soldiers on your hands?”Fan Yong's face was horrified.

"Isn't the big Khan who has defeated the Ming army and captured your majesty, so he thinks we are useless?"Then let the surrender of Wang Qi led the gold army to clean up us," Wang Dengku guessed, if not, there are forces around can gather so many soldiers and horses?

"Even if you catch your majesty, is it too early to sweat the world?"What is the benefit of killing donkeys now?Moreover, we have seen it in detail, and the soldiers outside the city have not shaved their braids, and they are not the army of the great men."Tanaka vetoed.

“It’s all at this point, what’s the use of saying that?Hurry up and find a way to get rid of it.”Another businessman said anxiously.

"Tell them we're going to shoot again."Li Yu's mouth showed a sneer, and he was about to kill.
