Huang Taiji's second invasion of the country was actually a coincidence. At that time, his original intention was to defeat Mongolia.

As a result, he happened to receive intelligence from within the Pass, and learned that Lu Xiangsheng and others had killed Li Zicheng in Huguang. Based on the news from the Fan family envoy, he quickly formulated a plan to enter the Pass and plunder.

This time when they entered the customs, Huang Taiji and his team had a very clear route. They did not focus on attacking the city, but only focused on plundering. This caused panic in the entire capital, but the business of the Fan family and the Chang family was not affected.

This action also sent a signal to other Shanxi merchants, and several health clinics even began to join this business.

Chongzhen also knew about the next news, so after Ezhe finished speaking, he asked the official to bring paper and pen.

"Ezhe, my dear, please write down all the names and origins of the people you remember, and then write down the messengers and others who are responsible for contacting the lower levels."

"I obey the decree."

E Zhe followed his instructions and began to record. He declared one after another, all of which were detailed records of meetings or letters. Chen Ye was a little stunned when he saw it.

Does Ezhe have such a good memory?

"Your Majesty, after writing it down, what I can think of is the heads of the eight families and a few descendants.

There are also some names of their minions and detailed transaction letters, many of which are kept by Huang Taiji, and I don’t have any specific ones.”

"Well, thank you for your hard work. You will be responsible for this in the past two days.

You will fly back soon, find the people who are responsible for this matter in the Manchu Qing Dynasty and do not belong to any anti-Ming and anti-Qing organizations, and ask the Royal Army to go find them and take notes.

As for those who pretend to surrender, you can break into them and collect all their lists. I intend to make you the director of the Mongolia Division of the Ming Dynasty National Security Bureau."

"I... I obey the order. Your Majesty, don't worry. I will contact the clansmen in Shengjing. I will definitely not let go of a traitor of the Ming Dynasty."

E Zhe was a little hesitant in his words. He was afraid of flying. Chongzhen thought of it when he saw his constipated expression, but didn't care. He took out the walkie-talkie and called Wang Chengen over.

"Wang Banban, you find a royal student to assist Prince Chahar in handling affairs, and then allocate a class to Prince Chahar."

"I accept the decree."

Wang Chengen bowed, and Ezhe smiled happily. He had heard how many people there were in a class, but he never thought that he could personally lead the Royal Army.

"Ezhe, you have to remember that the Royal Army is here in person. If you treat them as servants instead of your brothers, do you need me to tell you what the consequences will be?"

"No, no, your Majesty, don't worry, I am their servant, I am."

E Zhe nodded and bowed in an instant, and then followed Wang Chengen to the side hall. Chongzhen looked at the details of the confession and turned to face Chen Ye.

"Shopkeeper, the Manchus are so lucky. The traitors of the Ming Dynasty just happened to run into his arms."

"It can't be said that he is lucky. Why didn't Huang Taiji's people sell information to you? It's not because you don't have the need."

After Chen Ye finished speaking, he took out a map of Shanxi.

"In the whole of Shanxi, eight old Shanxi merchant houses are located in Taiyuan Prefecture and Linfen below.

Most of the main leaders of the Fan family, Chang family and Qiao family should be in Zhangjiakou Fort and Shahukou Fort.

So to take action, we need to carry out a large-scale military suppression in the three prefectures of Taiyuan Prefecture, Datong Prefecture, and Xuanfu Town, and eliminate all their resistance forces as quickly as possible."

"Innkeeper, we have already mobilized a group to go to Taiyuan Prefecture, and I have also mobilized the Qinglong Group from Baoan Prefecture to go to Datong Prefecture. Now there is a group in all three prefectures, which should be enough."

Chongzhen looked at the position of the three mansions and couldn't help but said that he felt that the situation was still under control.

"No, the three regiments should only have a little more than one battalion available, and the rest have to oversee disaster relief and land issues.

The operation of the eight Shanxi merchants for so many years has firmly woven the entire Shanxi health center into a chain of interests. If they act rashly, they may become desperate.

Although the Royal Army has defeated them and even crushed them, there is no need to hide and seek with them, wasting energy and wasting the newly formed stable chain."

Chen Ye's words made Chongzhen understand that Shanxi was now at a critical moment of disaster relief. The officials and people who had just been gathered and appeased could not withstand large-scale fluctuations.

Although the suppression can be suppressed, arrangements still have to be made after the suppression. The time wasted, the things delayed, and the resources wasted cannot be recovered.

"Then I will transfer the Royal Army from the capital.

Xuanfu has always been managed by the Royal Army. Don't worry, I have sent the Royal Army from Yanqing Prefecture to Datong and the Royal Army from Baoding Prefecture to Taiyuan.

Shopkeeper, what do you think of this arrangement?"

"Okay, then let the transferred troops move to the disaster relief posts, and let the troops who moved in take advantage of the terrain familiarity to carry out liquidation of Shanxi merchants."

"Well, I will inform Sun Aiqing to send the report later. After the list is established, we will start with the county magistrates and the generals from thousands of households to capture each county."

Chongzhen touched his beard and said in a comfortable mood, since he has decided to kill the dog, what the dog did before is not important.

"Shopkeeper, how much money do you think this Shanxi merchant should have? I guess I can make up for all the losses I suffered before."

"It's richer than you anyway. As for how much, you won't know until you copy it."

Chen Ye's words made Chongzhen feel very sad.

"Of course I know that the money belongs to me and they stole it from me.

I was thinking that if I ransacked all their homes, would there be tens of millions of taels?"

"If it's cash, it's probably only a few million taels. If you include their family property, shops, fields, and goods, it's probably about the same."

Chen Ye didn't think that the eight Shanxi merchants could have tens of millions of taels in cash, because they were Shanxi merchants, not officials. Money must be circulated in their hands before it becomes money.

"Well, in this case, we have to strictly manage their homes when they are confiscated. Otherwise, if they are embezzled, the account book will be worth tens of thousands of taels.

Shopkeeper, I want to purchase another thousand law enforcement recorders, and then each government will be equipped with three to four hundred units."

"Well, I'll tell He Tao when I go back tomorrow to buy some new models for police use. They have many uses, so I can buy more."

Chen Ye didn't think it was a lot for Chongzhen to buy a thousand law enforcement recorders at once. In fact, Chongzhen had already purchased no less than a thousand. The last time he inspected the assassin's house, he was wearing a police law enforcement recorder.

The Royal Army now has six first-phase backbone mixed regiments, twenty-four second-phase expansion regiments, and twenty-two third-phase reserve voluntary regiments. The total number has reached an astonishing 160,000 people.

There are also various royal merchant houses, the reorganized Jin Yiwei, the Beijing Engineering and Construction Team, the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, and various prisons in the palace.

A thousand law enforcement recorders were scattered, just like a thousand motorcycles scattered in the capital, without a trace.

After discussing the matter of handling the Shanxi merchants, Chen Ye thought of Jutian Hezi's worries yesterday.

"Lao Zhu, after the people of the Kikuta family of the Japanese country go back to deliver the message, the Japanese country will probably attack Goryeo first and seize a piece of territory. The Royal Army in Goryeo should prepare as soon as possible."

"Oh? Shopkeeper, didn't you initially say that they would attack the capital directly? Zheng Zhilong's navy is still training in Fujian, waiting for them to come and make dumplings."

Chongzhen asked a little strangely. Although Chen Ye's plan was full of loopholes, it had indeed reached a critical point in the first two months of the Ming Dynasty.

It is very possible for the Japanese country to be encouraged to land on the beach and carry out a wave of robbery. As for the capture, they have no idea at this time if they have ten courages.

"Tokugawa Iemitsu is not a fool, he cannot put all his chips on what a businessman says.

Moreover, Tokugawa Iemitsu may have noticed something fishy about some of the things we revealed in the newspaper, so the possibility that Tokugawa Iemitsu could directly come to Ming Dynasty is very small.

But the news of the decisive battle of the Ming Dynasty was also known to them through the channels of Goryeo, so I guess they would gather their troops and attack Goryeo first.

If the Ming Dynasty and the Qing army fought decisively, then Goryeo would definitely be defeated. At this time, the defense of Goryeo was empty, and the Japanese could defeat it effortlessly.

Later, with the help of Koryo Island, he could also observe the war situation between the Ming and Qing armies, and use this to decide whether to fight against the Ming Dynasty, or to give up as soon as possible, swallow Goryeo and let the Qing army suffer a loss."

Chongzhen listened to the analysis and nodded repeatedly. After thinking about this overall strategy, he understood that they were indeed too naive at first. It can be said that digging the hole was in vain.

As the centralized ruler of the shogunate, Tokugawa Iemitsu was afraid of seclusion and would not allow himself to take the risk of being in trouble to fight against the Ming Dynasty, which he might not be able to defeat.

"I have deployed a regiment to Korea, but it seems it is not enough. We still have to ask Hong Chengchou to send another regiment to Korea."

"Actually, one regiment is enough. It's impossible for the people of the Li Dynasty to do nothing. Let them delay for a while first."

"It's okay, let the people of Goryeo test Tokugawa Iemitsu's military strength first."

Chongzhen and Chen Ye said it naturally, without any intention of indifference to the lives of Goryeo. As long as Goryeo was not part of the Ming Dynasty, could it be considered one of its own?

"When the Japanese land in Goryeo, we can let the Royal Army defeat them and then vow to counterattack.

When the time comes, we will board the 30 10,000-ton cargo ships that we have purchased one after another, transport his 100,000-strong army to the Japanese islands, and then let the Koreans bring wooden sticks to serve as security forces."

"I'm afraid we have to wait a while. Zheng Zhilong is very slow. So far, the navy, oh no, the navy has not been formally established.

At present, there are only Zheng Zhilong's group of pirate soldiers, as well as naval soldiers from Shandong, Fujian, Jiangsu and other places, and there are quite a few who can operate ships."
