With this huge sum of money, many things were solved. After loudly scolding these merchants, Geng'e and Ortai felt glad at the same time. If they didn't take action now, if Shanxi could not stop the Ming army, then these wealth would probably have nothing to do with them again.

The acquisition of these goods has made Ortai more confident in defending Shanxi. He even planned to take out some of them to recruit some Rakshasa soldiers from Rakshasa Kingdom. If the governor of the East of Rakshasa Kingdom could decide to send troops officially, it would be even better.

In addition to solving the current problems, Geng E and Ortai also made great profits. Although they were both loyal ministers of the Qing Dynasty, there was no conflict between being loyal ministers and being corrupt officials. Who in the world said that corrupt officials could not be loyal ministers? There is no such reason at all.

What's more, the current situation is changing a lot, and even Ortai himself is not 100% sure to block the footsteps of the Ming army. Moreover, they can see clearly the gap between the overall strength between the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. With the current strength of the Ming Dynasty, can it still be blocked for a lifetime even if it can be blocked for a while?

No matter how people always leave some way out for themselves. In private discussions, Geng'e and Ortai concluded the same as Zhang Tingyu Longkodo. Once Shanxi cannot be defended, the only way out for the Qing Dynasty is to move westward. Only the Western Regions are the place where the Qing Dynasty will gain a foothold in the future.

By then, all of China will belong to the Ming Dynasty. Although Geng'er and Ortai's status in the Qing Dynasty can be guaranteed, their actual rights will be greatly weakened. In addition, the Western Regions are bitter and cold, and their production is even less abundant than the Central Plains. It is naturally good to have some fine and soft body protection. They can't be worried about money, right?

In this way, the two took out the items worth 10 million taels of silver from the searched items. The two of them privately divided the two and five into five pieces, and each got five million taels of money.

Of course, they would not be so stupid that they put all the remaining money into military use and then split 10 million taels from it. This money is used to manage everyone in the court. What is the so-called wealth? This kind of management is necessary and indispensable.

Who in the world knows that Shanxi merchants, especially the major imperial merchants, are all rich and powerful. They took action in Shanxi, killed all the people of these families and confiscated all their wealth. Even if they were not greedy for a penny of money, who would believe this? Moreover, this matter was done so much, someone in the court would definitely impeach them. Although judging from the current situation, Emperor Jianxing would never attack them directly, and those who should be reused will still be reused? But the future matters are really hard to say.

So? At this time, it is worth it to take some of the silver to deal with it, and let the officials in the court say something good for them in front of Emperor Jianxing to avoid worries.

Sixty million taels of silver? One third of them were gone in a blink of an eye. The remaining 40 million taels of silver, 300,000 taels of gold, and other land and real estate stores, etc., were converted into 56 million taels. Moreover, the search continued, and at least one more amount of nearly ten million taels could be copied? Ortai still had to take out half of this silver for Emperor Jianxing? That is more than 30 million taels.

Thinking about it, when Emperor Jianxing received this huge sum of money, coupled with the efforts of the officials in the court, the matter naturally subsided. In the end, the remaining more than 30 million taels were truly used, and this huge sum of money was enough to satisfy Ortai's army.

In order to avoid the long nights and long dreams, the two of them immediately sent someone to transfer the first payment to Xi'an after discussing, and at the same time wrote a memorial, which detailed the memorial that Shanxi merchants secretly communicated with the Ming Dynasty and intended to take advantage of the opportunity of the Ming Dynasty attacking Shanxi to rebel.

As for the evidence, there is no need to worry about it. Since these merchants are doing business, there is still little evidence for transactions with the south in recent years. In addition, they arrested their families and were beaten to death. What confessions could not be obtained after being severely punished? These things can be said to be conclusive, and they were sent out together with memorials and silver.

Because of such a big thing, Geng'e stayed in Shanxi for the time being and did not return to Guanzhong first. He had to wait for the reaction from Xi'an before acting. As for the reason for staying, it was naturally very simple. Of course, it was because of the emergency situation of the Ming Dynasty attacking Shanxi. As the Minister of Shangshu and Minister of War, Geng'e was taken as a matter of course to supervise the war on the front line.

With this money, Ortai's army can be said to have a great increase in morale. If you have money, you will have a hard back. Although the Ming army is stronger and elite than the Qing army, under the effect of the money, the Qing army in Shanxi exploded with strong combat power, and it was even more powerful with the Ming army for a time.

The tenacity of the Qing army in Shanxi was somewhat unexpected, which surprised Ma Gongcheng. He did not know that such a big thing happened in Shanxi. However, compared with the beginning of the war, although the Qing army was not easy to deal with after the war and relied on various fortifications and strongholds to deal with the Ming army, he gradually showed his disadvantages under the fierce attack of the Ming army.

But not long after, the Qing army suddenly became excited as if it had been shot with a chicken blood needle. Several Qing troops even became more and more powerful, and they changed their normal state to find a way to take the initiative to fight back. This surprised the Ming army. On the local battlefield, the Ming army accidentally suffered a small loss. After Ma Gongcheng learned about it, he immediately adjusted his tactics and restricted the various troops to fight steadily, which gradually suppressed the Qing army's sudden arrogance.

Although the performance of the Qing army became a bit strange, Ma Gongcheng was not anxious. Originally, his biggest characteristic of using troops was his calmness. Before attacking Shanxi, he was ready to take Shanxi for half a year or even longer.

Therefore, when Ma Gongcheng calmed down and adjusted his troops' tactics to launch a new attack, he gradually took the initiative in the battlefield with the elite firearms and powerful combat power of the Ming army. However, he had to admit that the Qing army in Shanxi was the most difficult part of the Qing army he had encountered at present. Not only was he well-trained, but he also had firearm troops similar to the new army of the Ming army. In the face of complex terrain and avoiding excessive casualties from the Ming army, this battle was indeed not easy to fight.

It was not until a few days later that Ma Gongcheng, the news sent from the Jinyiwei, learned the reason for the increase in combat effectiveness of the Qing army. After a long time of trouble, the Qing Dynasty directly searched Shanxi merchants to obtain huge wealth, and with the support of financial resources, these Qing troops worked so hard.

When Ma Gongcheng knew about this situation, his brows frowned and could not speak for a moment. He never expected that the Qing Dynasty would do such a move. Moreover, according to the information of the Jinyiwei, the wealth found in the search was extremely amazing. With this financial support, Ortai would naturally recruit more troops from Mongolia and even the Rakshasa Kingdom to compete with the Ming army. If this is the case, then his original plan to break Shanxi in half a year would be a little difficult.

Ma Gong immediately sent the information to Beijing, and at the same time wrote a memorial to Zhu Yicheng to inform him of the current changes in the overall situation in Shanxi. However, he wrote in the memorial that although the situation has changed, he still had the confidence to take down Shanxi, but he needed Zhu Yicheng to give him some more time.

After receiving the news, Zhu Yicheng thought for a long time and agreed to Ma Gongcheng's view, and issued an order to let him fight with peace of mind on the front line without worrying too much. In addition, Zhu Yicheng asked the Military Affairs Office to immediately order all business roads with the Qing Dynasty, and at the same time informed the world of all the merchants in Shanxi, so that the people of the world could see the true face of the Qing Dynasty.

Although before the war in Shanxi started, the Ming Dynasty had blocked all trade routes from the Ming Dynasty to Shanxi to prevent the Qing Dynasty from obtaining war resources through these trade routes. However, unknown trade routes still exist in private or in other areas.

This time, the Ming Dynasty directly formally ordered the blockade of all trade routes, regardless of the light and darkness, and let the Jinyiwei and local garrisons investigate it strictly. At the same time, the Shanxi incident was informed by the world, so that the people of the world could know what the Qing Dynasty did. When this incident was disclosed, the business operations in the whole world were shocked. No one expected that the famous Shanxi merchant group, except the Fan family, would be destroyed by the Qing Dynasty in one day.

Although with the development of commerce in the Ming Dynasty, various commercial banks continued to appear, and now, the commercial banks, led by Ningbo commerce and Guangdong commerce, sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and the strength and influence of merchants of the commerce bank are becoming increasingly greater. However, the status of the Shanshang Group in the Chinese business community cannot be ignored.

After all, from the period from the early and late Ming dynasties to the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, Shanxi merchants were one of the most powerful branches in the Chinese business world for hundreds of years, and the eight imperial merchants were even more famous. Who knows who traveled south and north?

Now, this important force in the business world has completely disappeared, and the one who destroyed them was the Qing Dynasty, which served by the Shanxi merchants. And the reason is even more infuriating. It is actually because it is a false reason for the Shanxi merchant group to rebel to search for the real wealth of their family.

There are certainly conflicts between business banks, or between businessmen, but this contradiction is only a business contradiction, but no one can accept such practices as the Qing Dynasty, especially merchants of all sizes. With the disclosure of the truth of the incident, merchants all over the world, even scholars and people, were indignant of the Qing Dynasty's actions. In this case, not to mention Zhu Yicheng directly ordered the closure of the trade routes, and strictly ordered that no rice or grain of salt flow into the area controlled by the Qing Dynasty from the Ming Dynasty. Those merchants would not take risks to help the Qing Dynasty with the same hatred of the same enemy.

After all, the lessons of the Shanxi merchants are right in front of you. Could it be that other merchants will follow in the footsteps of Shanxi merchants? Even if a few people dare to do that, they are not afraid of ending up with the same fate as the Shanxi merchants?

Soon, all the trade routes from the Ming Dynasty to the areas controlled by the Qing Dynasty were cut off. All large and small businesses could be said to have shared the same hatred of the enemy, abandoned their previous interests, and directly resisted and fought against the Qing Dynasty.
