Unexpectedly, Fan Yongdou did not look for others, but he came to him automatically and came to him first.

"Master, Master Fan!" The servant rushed from the door to the yard early in the morning, and walked in a hurry through the front hall and into the backyard. He headed straight for Fan Yongdou's inner hall.

Fan House, Zhangjiakou Fort is a big house. The seven-century mansion is extremely luxurious.

The size of the house is called 'deep', which is calculated based on the number of halls in each row. For example, the three entrances are composed of three halls, namely the "foyer", "most hall" and "back hall". Five entrances are composed of five "halls" in the longitudinal direction. Seven entrances are composed of seven "halls" in the longitudinal direction.

Houses that go in and out of three or five are luxurious in Beijing. They cannot have high-ranking officials and nobles without royal relatives and nobles.

Fan Yongdou's house in Zhangjiakou Fort turned out to be a seven-century mansion. It is even more luxurious than ordinary princes and nobles.

How luxurious is this seven-entrance mansion? The superior and prominent main house in the inner house was for Fan Yongdou's parents to live in. At this time, Fan Yongdou's parents had already left, and the main house was vacant.

The three northern rooms have only one in the middle and open the door outward, which is called the main hall. The two rooms on both sides only open the door to the main hall, forming a suite, forming a pattern of one light and two darkness. The main hall is where Fan Yongdou, a bastard, lives, entertains relatives or sets up a place to worship ancestors during the New Year Festival, and there are more bedrooms on both sides.

There are also differences in the bedrooms on the east and west sides. After marrying the main house, this guy took several concubines. The east side is the supreme, living from the main house, and living from the side on the west side.

There are several single doors in the East and West Ear Room, which are connected to the main room and are used as bedrooms and study rooms. Although Fan Yongdou does not study, in order to decorate a cultural person, he still built a study room in the West Ear Room.

Fan Yongdou is not just a national sinner, he betrayed his comrades for wealth. In private, he is also a slutty guy. On the top of his study, there are some books such as classics, history, and collections of classics, history, and paper pages are neatly arranged, because Fan Yongdou would not read them at all.

The row below is a military book about "Three Kingdoms", "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Six Strategies", "Three Strategies", "Wu Zi's Art of War", "Sun Bin's Art of War", "Sima Law", "Wei Liaozi" and so on.

Fan Yongdou gave Huang Taiji a lot of these military books. It is said that Huang Taiji used the counter-espionage strategy to kill Yuan Chonghuan after reading the Three Kingdoms. Zhu Cixuan didn't know whether it was true or not. After all, it was before he came here.

The books on the bottom layer were turned yellow and the corners were curled. It seemed that Fan Yongdou couldn't put down the volume of the lower row and read it endlessly.

However, these lowest-level books are all pictures of the erotic palaces collected from brothels, or are notorious and beautiful books such as "Jin Ping Mei" and "The Interesting History of Zhaoyang", "New Talk on the Lamp Cutting", "National Beauty", and "Vinegar Gourd". These are all one of Fan Yongdou's major hobbies.

At this point, he shamelessly showed off to others, saying that he likes to study on weekdays.

The east and west wing rooms are lived by some younger generations like nephews in the house. The wing rooms are also bright and dark. One in the middle is the living room and the two sides are bedrooms. The south side is divided into a kitchen or dining room. The second courtyard is built between the east and west wing rooms. The outer courtyard is built for the people to live in. There is a luxurious hanging flower door between the inner and outer courtyards, which is used to separate the inner and outer courtyards. There is a screen wall inside the hanging flower door, which is only opened when there are major activities. Outside the door is a living room, a doorman, a carriage, a horse number, and other "outside houses", and inside the door is the main living bedroom "inner house".

The materials used in the entire house are extremely particular. There are white marble from Hebei, glazed tiles from the capital, and even bluestone bricks from Suzhou. It’s nothing more, just because these places are produced in the best.

Zhangjiakou Fort was built in the fourth year of Xuande in the Ming Dynasty. It is an important military garrison castle on the Great Wall's defense line. It is known as the "Wucheng". With the increasing prosperity of the "Northern Silk Road" - Zhangku Avenue, the military function of Zhangjiakou Fort was gradually replaced by commercial and trade functions. At its peak, there were more than 1,600 bank accounts in Zhangjiakou Fort, with the highest annual trade volume reaching 1.5 billion taels of silver.

It was such a brilliant trade distribution center. Later, the Qing army of Huang Taiji had looted several times, and attacked Zhangjiakou four times from the fifth to the eleventh year of Chongzhen. Wherever the Qing army went, they burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil. The people of Zhangjiakou lived in dire straits after disasters.

In the fifth year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji commanded the army to besiege Xuanfu City. The governor of Xuanfu Chen Qi, and the eunuch Wang Kun made peace with the other party. The Manchu army did not use swords and guns to get a large amount of property back.

In July of the sixth year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji led his troops to Zhangjiakou Fort for the second time to plunder, and then went east to Longmen Pass. He could not siege the city and attacked Longmen and left. He besieged Xuanfu City again, and failed to descend to Shenjing for several days. He attacked Baoanzhou again. The magistrate of the Baoanzhou, Yan Shengping, guard Xu Guotai, organized military and civilian resistance, and the wife of the magistrate organized young women in the city to participate in the defense of the city. Later, due to the lonely battle, the city fell. The magistrate Yan Shengping and his wife and many military and civilians died in the street fighting.

In August of the seventh year of Chongzhen, the Qing army attacked Zhangjiakou Fort for the third time. It could not be captured for a long time, so it went south to capture Weizhou. After the failure, it attacked Wanquan Zuowei City. Zuowei City used blue bricks to cover the city wall, which was extremely strong.

The troops stationed in the Left Guard City were guarding Chang Rusong, commanding Du Fengzhi, commanding the soldiers and civilians in the city to fight for a day and two nights until the troops were exhausted. After the Qing army occupied the castle, the city was slaughtered. Chang Rusong, commanding Du Fengzhi to die for his country. Thousands of soldiers and civilians died under the Qing army's butcher knife, and corpses were spread across the streets and alleys, and blood flowed into a river. This battle was also called the "Left Guard Defense Battle".

In the 11th year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji led his troops to attack Zhangjiakou for the fourth time. First, he attacked the kitchen fortress. Wanquancheng was not defeated and then went south to besiege Xuanfu City.

After attacking Xuanda many times, the Qing army did not relax its offensive pace, and expanded its scope of attack and plunder. It bypassed Beijing many times and fought in Shandong and other places, making necessary preparations and preparations for the subsequent entry into the city.

Strangely, Zhangjiakou has been looted several times in the Qing Dynasty. Fan Yongdou's mansion was intact and was preserved intact during the robbery of the Qing army. It is even said that after the Qing soldiers entered the city, they specially sent troops to guard the mansion to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to cause trouble.

All of this is naturally because Fan Yongdou became the lackey of the Qing Dynasty. It is just strange that after the Qing army withdrew, Fan Yongdou not only did not be punished by the Ming court every time, but his business became bigger and bigger.

Although this seven-cent mansion is extremely luxurious, it can only be called a house, not a house. Because only high-ranking officials and nobles can be called a house. Fan Yongdou is a businessman, and no matter how luxurious his house is, it can only be called a house. In terms of status, the house is much higher than the house.
