Chapter 83: Fan Wencheng's Consciousness

Chang Guoyu sat in the living room of Fan Xiaoshan's house, calm and relaxed.

There are no extra accessories on the whole body, just a plain green clothes.

Although I have been sitting in the living room for a long time, I have no intention of being impatient.

Fan's shopkeeper sat on the side, drinking the little water that had lost the taste of tea in his mouth, and his eyes kept looking at the inner house.

"Chang shopkeeper, slack, slack, my lord occasionally felt a wind disease, and allowed my lord to drink medicine and sweat and then come to make amends."

Chang Guoyu said with a smile: "Where is the old shopkeeper, Master Fan is delicate and expensive, and it is natural for me to rest for a while, and it will not be in the way for me, a junior, to wait for more time."

I heard that this time Master Fan urgently bought a batch of barley, why didn't he look for me Hengtong, they are all old friends who have been friends for many years, and they don't make us money if they have money, it seems that we are not thoughtful where we are, Chang Mou came here this time, just to ask for sin.

Look at my Hengtong account where it is not done, and it will be improved in the future. ”

Shopkeeper Fan smiled: "A small business of 350,000 catties, Xiaochang shopkeeper can also see it?" ”

Chang Guoyu said with a smile: "The old shopkeeper, Chang Mou has only been in Zhang's house for two months, and he lost a business when he came, which makes me restless, Fan's and my Yun family are old friends, and when I came, the owner said that even if I don't make money, I must maintain a good relationship with Fan."

For our hosts, this relationship is more important than a small amount of money. ”

The old shopkeeper smiled and said, "That's what I'm talking about, I'm talking about ......"

Just when the two of them were talking tastelessly, Fan Xiaoshan finally walked out of the inner house, Chang Guoyu hurriedly stepped forward and saluted deeply: "Hengtong Chang Guoyu came to make amends." ”

Fan Xiaoshan sat on the top, glanced at Chang Guoyu and took a sip of tea after taking a sip of tea: "How did the shopkeeper Xiao Chang know that my Fan family used tens of thousands of catties of barley?" ”

Chang Guoyu smiled bitterly: "The barley you entered from the Furui at night, and when it comes to dawn, the work of the Furui will use this as a brand, and laugh at my Hengtong."

These days, the kid has been checking for a long time, and he didn't find that the Hengtong was not doing well so that Master Fan abandoned us.

The kid was frightened by your actions, so he came to the door to make amends, if Chang Guoyu did not do well, then resign, let the owner faction and the shopkeeper of your appetite, just ask Master Fan not to give up my Hengtong number. “

Fan Xiaoshan waved his hand and said: "Guoyu thinks too much, if you want a little barley for brewing at home, it will only be twenty or thirty thousand catties, and it is not worth making your Hengtong account that cheap."

You go back and tell the shopkeeper Yun that the business between my Fan family and the Yun family is iron, and there will be no twists and turns. ”

Chang Guoyu straightened up at this time, and arched his hand: "I see, I see, that's good, that's good, Master Fan, your words saved the kid's life."

This is the cloud tea specially purchased from Qinling, which is the most refreshing and refreshing, please taste it. ”

Fan Xiaoshan looked at the jar of good tea that Chang Guoyu had brought over, sighed and said to the old shopkeeper: "Lao Liao, learn a little, you look at how the Yun family does business, the profit of twenty or thirty thousand catties of barley may not be as valuable as this can of tea."

No wonder it took only five years for the Yun family to secure the position of the third largest merchant in Zhangjiakou, and in another two years, the name of our Fan family will also be handed over to the Yun family. “

Chang Guoyu said with a smile: "How dare you, how dare you, the Yun family is doing business from Guanzhong to Zhangjiakou, and your Fan family is a big expert who specializes in outside the mouth."

The Yun family is in Zhangjiakou, but you Master Fan enjoys eating. ”

Fan Xiaoshan was happy to hear this, waved his hand and said: "Go back, the sorghum in this autumn will have to be supported by Xiaochang's shopkeeper, and we can't afford to delay the military rations on the nine sides." ”

Chang Guoyu agreed repeatedly, Fan Xiaoshan looked out of the door regretfully, and returned to the inner house.

Bidding farewell to the shopkeeper Liao, Chang Guoyu stood at the door of Fan's for a while, and saw a man carrying a burden to sell watermelons come to Fan's door to sell, so he hurriedly walked to the Hengtong at the end of the street.

After entering the Hengtong, Chang Guoyu went straight to the guest room in the backyard, and Xue Guocai stood in front of the window and looked at Chang Guoyu coldly.

Chang Guoyu arched his hand at Xue Guocai in shame and said: "It's us who made a mistake here, twenty days ago, Fan Xiaoshan bought 28,000 catties of highland barley in the Furui, saying that he wanted to brew highland barley wine, the quantity is not large, such things happen every year, we didn't care, I didn't expect that this batch of highland barley would be poisoned by the Fan family and sent to Eilechuan." ”

Xue Guocai said: "Did you find anything?" ”

Chang Guoyu said: "I sat idle in Fan's living room for nearly an hour, and the shopkeeper Liao said that Fan Xiaoshan had a cold, but when he came out, he had no symptoms of a cold, I think he must be accompanying important people, which needs to be further verified."

In addition, when Fan Xiaoshan was talking to me, he couldn't help but look out three times, probably waiting for someone.

I thought. It is necessary for us to block the road outside the entrance, and at least find out who Fan Xiaoshan and others are. ”

Xue Guocai sighed and said: "Be careful, but in the end we almost made a mistake, if it weren't for General Gao's cautiousness, this time, we would suffer a big loss if we didn't get it right."

You're doing the work of a sentry, and you don't dare to be careless. ”

Chang Guoyu said: "I'll arrange for someone to investigate the Fan family's mansion to see who the mysterious guest is, I don't believe I can't find this person." ”

Xue Guocai saw that Chang Guoyu was about to leave, so he said in a low voice: "Qian Shaoshao thinks that the person who came is nothing more than Ning Wanme, and Fan Wencheng, even if it is not these two people, it must be a former Ming person." ”

Chang Guoyu gritted his teeth and said, "This time I won't let anyone go." ”

Fan Xiaoshan returned to the inner house, Fan Wencheng was sitting at the desk reading a book, and when he heard Fan Xiaoshan coming back, he put down the book in his hand and said, "Who is here?" ”

Fan Xiaoshan said: "The second shopkeeper of Hengtong." ”

"What is he doing here?"

"Asked me why I didn't buy barley from Hengtong, I had to buy it from somewhere else, and I was sent away in a few words."

Fan Wencheng glanced up at Fan Xiaoshan and said, "Didn't you say that you have to buy 30,000 catties of barley wine every year?" ”

Fan Xiaoshan said: "That's true, we used to buy from Hengtong, but this time, in order to hide people's eyes, we bought barley from Furui. ”

Fan Wencheng listened to Fan Xiaoshan's words, his face immediately turned cold, and he looked at Fan Xiaoshan and said, "Confused! ”

Fan Xiaoshan was taken aback, and quickly stood up, at a loss.

has been doing business with the Manchus for a long time, and he still knows a little about Fan Wencheng's status in the Manchus.

This person is Huang Taiji's confidant.

In the forty-sixth year of Wanli, the Eight Banners Army went to Fushun, Fan Wencheng and his brother took the initiative to return to Houjin, and visited Nurhachi in Fushun.

Nurhachi took Shenyang and Liaoyang in the sixth year of the Mandate of Heaven, and attacked Xiping into Guangning in the seventh year.

In October of the third year of Tiancong, Huang Taiji (then known as "Tiancong Khan") led more than 50,000 people of the Manchurian army to attack the Ming, broke into the Sai Nei from the Xifeng Pass, entered the Jimen, and Kezunhua.

Fan Wencheng was in the Khan's Wenguan and was called the "study official", but he did not have an official official title.

Although he is a Confucian student, he looks dignified, has a burly physique, but is very much like a tiger general, and is not afraid of the battle, when he is in the army to fight, he bravely rushes to kill, and is good at using tactics, and can speak well, so he has made meritorious contributions, "appeasing the five cities of Panjiakou, Malanyu, Shantunying, Malanguan and Daankou".

The Ming army besieged Daankou City, and he "put on armor to force the formation", "led the guns and gunners, and killed many Han'er".

On November 11, Huang Taiji commanded the army to attack Beijing, leaving the staff generals Ying Ordai, the guerrilla Li Sizhong and Wen Cheng and eight members to prepare the army, leading 800 troops, stationed in Zunhua.

The Ming army came to attack, "the Qing army's forward was surrounded, and Fan Wencheng broke through the siege and fought to help." Because of his outstanding military exploits, Fan Wencheng was awarded the post of guerrilla.

In August of the fifth year of Tiancong, Huang Taiji attacked the Ming Dynasty again, and led an army of 780,000 to besiege Dalinghe City. On the tenth day of the first month, Fan Wencheng was ordered by Khan to go to the west mountain of the city to persuade him to surrender.

The Ming soldiers "defended to the death according to the danger", he "rode to the stage alone, and knew the details", and the defenders got off the stage and surrendered after hearing this, including one student, 72 men, 17 women, as well as 2 horses, 24 oxen, and 21 donkeys.

In April of the sixth year of Tiancong, Huang Taiji led his troops to investigate Har, and Lin Dan Khan heard about it and led his people to flee. Huang Taiji wanted to use troops in the Ming Xuan Mansion Taitong, Fan Wencheng and his colleagues in the Wenguan Ning Wan and Ma Guozhu were sparse, thinking that it was better to attack the mountain customs to enter the Xuan Mansion.

In late May, Huang Taiji stationed in Guihua City, sent troops to loot the Mongol and Han families in the Yellow River area, and ordered the officials of the Wenguan to discuss the next plan of action.

On the fifth day of the first month of June, Fan Wencheng, Ning Wanme, and Ma Guozhu played together, and tried their best to advocate the use of troops against the Ming Dynasty, and went deep in a big way, and went straight to the Beijing division.

Although Huang Taiji did not adopt it after weighing the situation, Fan Wencheng completely entered Huang Taiji's eyes.

This is a person who relied on his military exploits and really climbed step by step from the lowest level to the position of an important minister of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Although Fan Xiaoshan thought that he had merit, he did not dare to have the slightest resentment in front of this person.

"Wen Chenggong, could it be that I did something wrong?"

Fan Wencheng sneered and said: "Self-proclaimed smart idiot, let me ask you, who is the owner behind this Hengtong number?" ”

"Shaanxi Lantian Yun Clan!"

"Yun Clan?"

"The Ming Dynasty is an extremely capable county order, in my opinion, this county commander is also a person who does not dare to lie in wait, and he is almost self-reliant in Lantian County.

I've been wondering if I can invite this person to join us lately. ”

Fan Wencheng looked at Fan Xiaoshan coldly and said, "Do you think that if you and I become Manchu Shunchen, others should also become Manchu Shunchen like us?" ”

Fan Xiaoshan said: "This person's family was born as robbers, and later washed his buttocks, and took the opportunity to become a county magistrate when Hong Chengchou rewarded the group of people in Zhao'an Guanzhong.

Such a character, how can he be a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, I think I can recruit it, at least try. ”

Fan Wencheng laughed self-deprecatingly, patted Fan Xiaoshan on the shoulder and said: "Every time you slaughter more dogs, most of them are scholars."

Xiao Shan, you should remember this sentence, it is easy to recruit scholars, but it is dangerous to recruit dog slaughterers, and now that you and I are embarrassed, don't make any extraneous branches.

Now, you quickly send someone to pick up the people you sent out, if these people come back alive, it means that this Yun clan is just a businessman.

If the people you sent out don't come back alive or go missing, you must immediately unite with the rest of the family, and no matter how much it costs, you must also eliminate the Yun clan! ”
