In the Forbidden City, Hu Guang was very satisfied when he heard the eunuch reporting on the situation outside the palace. The deep hatred of the people in the capital against the Shanxi merchants in Tonglu was easily guided to be used in subsequent policies.

This crazy resentment also made him understand why in the original history, Yuan Chonghuan was sentenced to Lingchi, and his meat was robbed in a crazi manner. This was exactly the same saying, I wish I could eat his meat and drink his blood!

Hu Guang heard it almost as soon as he waved his hand and asked someone to retreat and waited quietly.

The plan was smooth, so he put his heart in his stomach. He entered the chat group and went to see what progress was going on in Xuanfu again. After all, how much money could be checked there was not only related to the completion of the system tasks, but also how much easier it would be in the future in state affairs!

No surprises, Lu Ruipeng, a foreign military officer in the Dongchang in Xuanfu, left a message, and there were many.

"In Xuanfu City, a total of the former governor of Xuanfu Guo Zhicong, and eleven civil servants below the prefecture, county magistrate, etc. were investigated. Valuable items such as gold, silver and jewelry were equivalent to about 7.5 million taels of silver, of which about 5 million taels of silver."

"The property of the eight families in Xuanfu on the list of Fan Yongdou and Wang Dengku is equivalent to about 28 million taels of silver, of which about 8 million taels of silver. About 16 other Shanxi merchants who were not on the list were about 8 million taels of money, of which about 2 million taels of silver."

"The property of prisoners and prisoners in Zhangjiakou was mostly grain, iron tools, tea, salt and other materials. The amount was too large and not yet clear. Xue Ge Lao confirmed that the grain of the provinces around the capital should have been purchased and hoarded in Zhangjiakou by these Shanxi merchants."

“…”

Everyone was good news, which made Hu Guang smile. He knew that the search was still going on. In the hometowns of Shanxi merchants, there were many other places, and there were also many of their industries and property. When they were finally summarized, the number was absolutely surprising.

Hu Guang was in a very good mood and looked at it one by one. But when he saw the last two, he finally frowned.

"The news of the arrest has spread, and nearly half of the servants of the generals in various places have dispersed. Most of the soldiers who fled back before have not returned to the camp. A warehouse was robbed, and the unmoved food and other items were burned out."

"Gei Lao Xue asked the emperor to ask for the manpower, and at present, he was short of staff. He begged His Majesty to send troops to come again. The master was afraid that those scattered soldiers would fall into bandits or covet the property that was searched everywhere."

The news disappeared here. After Hu Guang read it, he understood. Although before the arrest, he had an order to go to the place and said that the scattered soldiers would not be punished. But the key is that the court had no prestige, and those soldiers probably farted and no one dared to really listen to the court. If it was a trap, he would fall into the trap.

The simple reason why the imperial court has no prestige among the border troops is that it is that military pay is owed by various reasons. As the owed owes, it not only owes the military pay of the border soldiers, but also owes the prestige of the court.

This matter was not taken seriously before, but even if it was taken seriously, there was nothing we could do because the court had no money!

Judging from the news, the border troops in Xuanfu Town have dispersed too much. These soldiers have military experience, weapons and armor. If they become bandits, they will have too great threat to the situation in the north!

The more Hu Guang thought about it, the more he felt that the matter was a bit serious, but he didn't know how to recover it for a while, so he could only let it go first and immediately issued an order for the generals of the Beijing camp Rong Mangui and Ma Xianglin to meet with each other.

After handing over the prisoners such as Fan Yongdou, Ma Xianglin and his wife rushed to the Forbidden City immediately. Without even having time to report the escorts in detail, they transferred two thousand Jing camps and one thousand five cities from Mangui, and together with his army responsible for escorting the prisoners, they hurried back to Xuanfu.

The northern part of Shanxi was completely in panic. Almost everywhere, there were shadows of the Baigang Army, Jinyiwei Clerk and Dongchang Army soldiers. With the cooperation of local officials, or bypassing local officials at all, they used thunder to search the industries of Shanxi merchants on the list.

Similar to the situation here, the Korean Peninsula is far away in the east.

At this time, Korea had already surrendered to the Jianlu, at least on the surface, cut off relations with the Ming Dynasty, and became brothers with the Later Jin Dynasty, and paid tax tribute to the Later Jin Dynasty.

Aisin Gioro Amin led 10,000 troops, claiming to be 50,000. While sending envoys to the North Korean capital to ask for food, he led his troops directly into North Korea without waiting for a reply.

As early as 1627, the first large-scale war between Jianlu and North Korea was led by Amin, so this time he was also familiar with the game.

It may be due to the great martial arts brought by Huang Taiji's entry into the pass, or it may be that Amin knew that food was related to whether the strength of the Later Jin Dynasty could be rapidly enhanced. Anyway, he was determined to make prominent achievements in this matter. Therefore, as soon as he entered North Korea, he plundered troops, causing the area between North Korea's border with Liaodong to fall into dire straits.

Due to the butterfly effect, the Second Korean War, which originally took place in 1637, broke out in 1630.

When North Korea Inzong heard the urgent report, he was very panicked and didn't know what to do!

He also knew in his heart that North Korea's military power was impossible to defeat Jianlu. His only hope was to hope that the original sect leader would come to save him.

As for the fact that he had no choice but to form an alliance with Jianlu, the matter had been sent to explain to the Ming Dynasty and obtained the understanding of Emperor Chongzhen. Therefore, in fact, the relationship between North Korea and the Ming Dynasty was still between the vassal states and the sect leader states.

However, Renzong already knew that Mao Wenlong was killed last year, and the military force closest to North Korea in Ming Dynasty was already in chaos. Although the governor of Denglai Yuan Keli was hateful, he was indeed capable, but he had resigned. It is very unrealistic to rely on the Ming army in Dongjiang to rescue him.

If you compromise with Jianlu, where does the food come from? North Korea itself is seriously affected and is short of food!

And emotionally speaking, it is really a shame to compromise with those barbarians again!

Renzong could not think of a solution, so he could only summon three of his most trusted grand sages to discuss military information.

Not long after, Hong Yihan, Yin Ji and Wu Daji, who were originally known as the "Three Bachelors" in history, were summoned to arrive.

At this time, they didn't know that the Jianlu had invaded the capital of the Ming Dynasty and returned triumphantly. On the one hand, the Ming people would not tell them on their own initiative, and they were far away, so it was impossible for them to know so quickly. On the other hand, Amin didn't know why, and did not mention this matter.

These three people also could not come up with effective means. As for the suggestion that Renzong personally conquer the enemy and fight back against the invasion, they were rejected by Renzong just by revealing their words.

Unable to discuss a good solution, Renzong had to order the enemy to be perfunctory and let the local people resist. With the attitude of being a dead horse, he sent people to ask for help from the Ming Dynasty.
