After the Jurchen soldiers of the Zhenghuang Banner led by Wu Basheng and Mu Ketan evacuated Shuozhou City, they had already suffered a number of casualties because they had to cover the large amount of wealth and population escorted by the Erke Chuhuer Mongol cavalry.

After they hid in the dilapidated Acropolis of Pingyuwei, they were surrounded by Li Banghua's army that came later, and finally the whole army was annihilated.

The former Chahar Wanhu Erke Chuhuer led the remaining Mongols to surrender.

This led to a very serious consequence, and when this army of tens of thousands of people was completely annihilated, not a single man and horse could pass through the valley area at the eastern foot of Guanshui Mountain, and go north to Datong to the right guard or kill Hukou to report the news.

Of course, this problem is not a serious problem for Jueluobaishan and Yanguli's eldest son, Ahdan, who led some of the Eastern Mongolian tribes to garrison and kill Hukou.

Because they are in the mouth of the killing, they can retreat north at any time.

But for Fan Yongdou and Wang Dengku, who were still stuck in Kill Hukou at this time and waiting for the "overall situation to settle", it meant a tragedy.

Fan Yongdou and Wang Dengku are not fools, and in the process of interacting with Jianyu, there are many things that can not be done.

Because they all know the risks involved.

Jianlu and Da Ming are enemies, once they blatantly help Jianlu to harm Da Ming and in the end Da Ming did not sign an alliance with Jianlu, then these merchants who bet on Jianlu's side will lose all the money.

If it weren't for the Houjin State Eju Yangguli and others brought back by Fan Yongkui, who used both soft and hard against him, coerced and lured, coaxed and deceived, and coupled with various threats, Fan Yongdou would never have blatantly occupied Jianyu's side.

The reason why he finally had to agree to act as Jianyu's internal response, and after putting aside all other trade-offs and pros and cons and considerations of gains and losses, the most fundamental point is that Fan Yongdou himself knew that his Fan family business actually had little way out.

Not to mention before, since the time of the old slave slave Hachi, as one of the principals of the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce in Zhangjiakou, he has established contact with Jianguo, and began to fornicate with Jianguo, and engaged in smuggling trade with Jianguo, selling a large number of prohibited items such as iron horses, grain, and armor into Jianzhou, so as to make huge profits.

Just say that after the Karaqin Department clearly took refuge in the Ming Dynasty, he transferred most of the trade of the Fan family business to kill Hukou, his brother Fan Yongkui and his son Fan Sanba, took the caravan to Liaodong to trade in person, and was also awarded the first-class reserve of the Han army by the lord of the Later Jin State, it is just one thing, once it is exposed, it is a big crime to kill the head and steal the family.

Therefore, if there is anyone in the territory of the Ming Dynasty who most hopes that Jianyu will win in this war of aggression against the Ming Dynasty, it must be Fan Yongdou.

Correspondingly, after Jianyu entered the customs from the killing of Hukou, the person who was most afraid and worried about Jianguo's failure to withdraw in the territory of the Ming Dynasty was also the only one who had to be.

Because of this, after setting up a trap to kill Zu Dacheng, Jiang Rang, Zu Keren and others, Fan Yongdou fell into endless anxiety and nervousness alternating between fear and expectation.

On the one hand, he was very worried that the Fan family's business had spread the word about what they had done in killing Hukou.

After all, in the end, it turned out that Jiang Jiao, who was guarding Hukou Nanguan, did escape with a group of men.

And these disgraceful deeds of his Fan family in killing Hukou, once they are passed on by Jiang Pai and others, then the property he left in Zhangjiakou, as well as the huge wealth and family he left in Jiexiu, will be dangerous.

Fortunately, news came later that the day after Jiang Ping and others fled to Shuoping, the right guard of Datong, Shuoping City was surrounded by the Zhenglan Banner and the Mongolian army.

Immediately afterwards, Shuoping City was slaughtered by the Zhenglan Banner and the Mongol army, and no one was left in the city, including old and young women and children.

After this news came, Fan Yongdou's heart felt a little stable.

But on the other hand, he was very worried about how his Fan family would deal with himself if the army of the Houjin Kingdom did not meet his previous expectations.

If the Jurchen army and the Mongol army of the Later Jin Kingdom really made peace with the Ming Dynasty one day in the future, whether the two countries followed the precedent of the Mongols and the Ming Dynasty to engage in a tribute exchange, or the Ming Dynasty bent its knees to the Later Jin Dynasty to open border trade, all of this is easy to say.

In case the army of the Houjin Kingdom is defeated, how should the Fan family business deal with itself from now on?

Do you want to follow the army of the Houjin State all the way to Guanwai, to Kuku and Tun, or even to the Houjin State?

Whenever he thought of this, Fan Yongdou was restless, and deep down he felt a heartfelt fear.

Although the business of his Fan family is basically outside the mouth, the family business of the old Fan family is still in the Ming Dynasty, in Zhangjiakou, and in Jiexiu after all.

Although he was greedy for huge profits and engaged in trade with the Houjin Kingdom, this did not mean that he was willing to go to the Houjin Kingdom to be an inferior person who was looked down upon by the nobles of the Eight Banners of the Houjin Kingdom.

Therefore, since Jianyu entered the customs from Killing Hukou, Fan Yongdou fell into all kinds of fears, remorse or rejoicing, and locked himself in the Fan family's compound in Killing Hukou every day, praying that no one would know about his disgraceful things, and praying that the army of the Jin Kingdom would go all the way smoothly and fight east to Beijing.

However, the more you are afraid of something, the more you come!

At noon on November 26, Mang Gurtai, the owner of the Zhenglan Banner of the Third Belle of the Later Jin Kingdom, led about 5,000 cavalry of the Zhenglan Banner and the brain-Wen Korqin cavalry of Badali Taiji, the son of Oba, from the direction of the left guard of Datong and the right guard of Datong, galloped all the way into the Fort of Killing.

The arrival of Mang Gurtai brought a news that shocked everyone in the Killing Hu Fort!

Dajin Kingdom is defeated!

After being ordered to stay behind to kill Hukou, the Jin State Sect Jue Luo Baishan and Yanggul's eldest son Ahadan were shocked, but they were not afraid, except for asking Mang Gurtai and others about the news in the east, and inquiring about the whereabouts of Huang Taiji, the Tiancong Khan of the Great Jin Kingdom, they were thinking about how to deal with the next situation.

But for Fan Yongdou, Fan Yongkui, Wang Dengku and other traitor businessmen who killed Hukou Shanxi Chamber of Commerce, this news is like a bolt from the blue!

Nearly 100,000 iron horsemen of the Dajin Kingdom and the Mongols were defeated!

And it was defeated so completely, so that the overall collapse was like a mountain!

How is this possible?! That's impossible! This must not be true! It must not be true!

At noon on November 26, after Mang Gurtai rushed into Kill Hukou, Fan Yongdou, Fan Yongkui, Fan Sanba, Wang Dengku of the Wang Family Commercial Bank, Zhai Tang, the proprietor of the Zhai family, Huang Yunfa, the proprietor of the Huang family, and the shopkeepers of several other big families of the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce in Hukou, soon gathered in the Fan family compound of the Kill Hubao in a panic.

In the same second hall where the Hongmen banquet was set up at the beginning, the same people, everyone was like a lost dog, urgently discussing countermeasures.

"Father! Don't hesitate any longer! For the sake of today's plan, if we don't take advantage of the fact that the official army has not arrived, we will quickly follow the Jurchens to evacuate and kill Hukou and withdraw from the Guanwai, and these things that the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce will do in the future, once the East Window incident happens, then we will really be doomed! ”

Fan Yongdou's son, Fan Sanba, saw that everyone had arrived, and immediately said these words to his father, who had always been cautious and calculating, hoping that Fan Yongdou would make a decision as soon as possible and run away with the Jurchens.

Fan Yongdou clenched the teacup in his hands tightly, as if he was holding his own lifeblood, I don't know whether it was because he was nervous and scared, or because the weather was too cold, his hands kept shaking, but he was silent.

Seeing that Fan Yongdou had not spoken, one of the old men with a wrinkled face and a gray beard suddenly said: "Master Fan Shao's words are wrong!" The Fan family is the Fan family, and the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce is the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce!

"The previous killing of Hukou was the work of your Fan family, not the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce! What is the East Window incident, it's all your Fan family's business! What does it have to do with the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce that killed Hukou?! What does it have to do with my Zhai family!? You're still young, don't talk nonsense! ”

This person is Zhai Tang, a big businessman from the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce in Zhangjiakou and Hukou, who are old and sophisticated.

After Zhai Tang finished saying this, Fan Sanba was so angry that he opened his eyes angrily on the spot, and he wanted to talk to him again.

But at this time, another middle-aged man who was not tall but fat as a ball also followed closely:

"What the proprietor Zhai said is right! Shanxi Chamber of Commerce is Shanxi Chamber of Commerce, and your Fan family is your Fan family! Your Fan family can't represent the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce!

"You Fan family can leave! You are gone, and you can do it in the future as a high-ranking official in the Dajin Kingdom! But what can we do when we go?!

"Speaking of which, we didn't accept their official position in the Dajin Kingdom!"

This person's name is Huang Yunfa, and he is a Shanxi businessman who is extremely shrewd.

After Huang Yunfa said this, he immediately resonated with the other shopkeepers and courtiers in the cabinet, and they said:

"That's it! It is! In the past, our Shanxi Chamber of Commerce took Fan Da Proprietor as the head of the horse, and what Fan Da Proprietor said, we will naturally do it! Those things before, we listened to the words of the Fan family!

"Besides, at that time, there was an internal response in the city, and everyone was in a mess, and many of our guys were killed by the Jurchens! This reason, where to go! ”
