In the Forbidden City, Hu Guang listened to the situation outside the palace and couldn't help but be very satisfied. This kind of bitter hatred of the people of Jingshi for the Tongyu Jin merchants is easy to guide and use in the subsequent policies.

For this kind of crazy resentment, it also made him understand why in the original history, Yuan Chonghuan was sentenced to Ling Chi, and his meat was robbed madly, it was in response to that sentence, I can't wait to eat his flesh and drink his blood!

Hu Guang heard almost that, so he waved his hand to let people retreat and wait quietly by himself.

The plan went smoothly and made him put his heart in his stomach. Consciousness entered the chat group and went again to see what progress was going on in Xuanfu. After all, how much money can be confiscated over there is not only related to the completion of the system task, but also related to how much easier it can be in state affairs in the future!

There is no accident, Lu Ruipeng, the Dongchang fan in Xuanfu, has a message, and there are many of them.

"In the city of Xuanfu, a total of Guo Zhicong, the former governor of Xuanfu, was confiscated, and eleven civil officials below the prefect and county magistrates, and valuables such as gold, silver, jewelry, etc., were equivalent to about 7.5 million taels of silver, of which about 5 million taels of silver."

"The property of the eight families on the list of Fan Yongdou and Wang Dengku in Xuanfu was confiscated, which was equivalent to about 28 million taels of silver, of which about 8 million taels of silver. There were about 16 other Jin merchants who were not on the list, and the property obtained was about 8 million taels, of which about 2 million taels were silver. ”

"The seizure of the property of the prisoners in Zhangjiakou was mostly grain, ironware, tea, salt and other materials, and the amount was too large to be counted clearly. Xue Ge Lao confirmed that the grain in the surrounding provinces of Jingshi should have been purchased and hoarded in Zhangjiakou by these Jin merchants. ”

“……”

All of them are good news, and Hu Guang is eyebrows and smiles. He knew that the raids were still going on, and in the hometowns of those Jin merchants, as well as other places, there were also a lot of their properties and belongings, and when they were finally summed up, the amount was absolutely astonishing.

Hu Guang was in a very good mood and watched them one by one. But when I saw the last two, I finally frowned.

"The news of the arrest has spread, and nearly half of the generals' families have been scattered. Most of the soldiers who fled before did not return to the camp. A warehouse was looted, and all the grain and other goods that had not been removed were burned. ”

"Xue Ge Lao asked the emperor, the current shortage of manpower is expected, and I implore Your Majesty to send troops again. The elder was afraid that those scattered soldiers would fall into the grass or covet the confiscated property from all over the country. ”

The news is gone here, and Hu Guang thought about it after reading it, and then he understood. Although before the arrest, there was a decree to go down to the place to say that the stragglers were not to blame in the past. But the point is that the court has no prestige, and those soldiers are probably going to fart, and no one dares to really listen to the court, in case it is a trap, they will fall into the net.

The reason why the imperial court has no prestige in the border army is that the military salaries are in arrears for various reasons, and they are owed, which not only owes the salaries of the soldiers of the border army, but also owes the prestige of the imperial court.

This matter didn't attract attention before, but even if it did, it couldn't be helped, because the court had no money!

The border army in Xuanfu Town, judging from the news, has broken up too much. These soldiers, with military experience, weapons, and armor, will pose too great a threat to the situation in the north if they fall into the grass!

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 save it for a while, so he could only let it go first, and immediately ordered Rong Mangui, the head of the Beijing camp, and Ma Xianglin and his wife to meet him.

After handing over Fan Yongdou and other prisoners, Ma Xianglin and his wife immediately rushed to the Forbidden City, and before they even had time to report the escort situation in detail, they transferred 2,000 Beijing battalions and 1,000 soldiers and horses from Mangui, plus his army responsible for escorting the prisoners, and hurriedly returned to Xuanfu.

The northern part of Shanxi was completely in a panic, and almost everywhere in every city, there were shadows of the White Pole Army, the Jinyi Guard Captain and the Dongchang Commander, either with the cooperation of the local officials, or bypassing the local officials at all, and raiding the properties of the Jin merchants on the list with a thunderous force.

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

At this time, Korea had already submitted to Jianlu, at least superficially severed the vassal relationship with the Ming Dynasty, formed a brotherly state with the Later Jin, and paid taxes and tribute to the Later Jin.

Aisin Jueluo Amin led 10,000 troops, known as 50,000, and in addition to sending envoys to the capital of Korea to ask for food, he directly led the army into Korea without waiting for a reply.

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

It may be that he was forced by the great martial arts brought by Huang Taiji's entry into the customs, or it is possible that Amin knew that food was related to whether the strength of Houjin could be increased rapidly, anyway, he was bent on making conspicuous achievements in this matter, so as soon as he entered North Korea, he plundered his troops, making the area bordering Liaodong in North Korea suddenly fall into dire straits.

Due to the butterfly effect, the Second Korean War, which was supposed to take place in 1637, broke out in 1630.

When North Korea Injong heard the emergency report, he panicked and didn't know what to do for a while!

He himself knew in his heart that with the current military strength of North Korea, it was impossible to win the war and capture it. The only hope is that the original suzerainty will come to the rescue.

As for the alliance with Jianyu before, this matter has been explained by an envoy to the Ming Dynasty, and the understanding of Emperor Chongzhen has also been obtained. Therefore, in fact, the relationship between Korea and the Ming Dynasty was still a vassal state and a suzerain.

However, Renzong already knew that Mao Wenlong had been killed last year, and the Ming military's closest military force to North Korea had fallen into chaos. and the governor of Denglai, Yuan Keli, although hateful, does have the ability, but he has resigned and returned. It is very unrealistic to expect the Ming army of Dongjiang to come to the rescue now.

If you compromise with Jianlu, where will the food come from? North Korea itself has been severely affected and is short of food!

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

Renzong alone couldn't think of a way, so he had to summon the three scholars he trusted the most to discuss the military situation.

It didn't take long for Hong Yihan, Yin Ji, and Wu Daji, who were originally known as the "Three Bachelors" in history, to arrive.

At this time, they didn't know that Jianyu had invaded the land of Gyeonggi in the Ming Dynasty. On the one hand, the Ming people will not take the initiative to tell them, and they themselves are far away, so it is impossible for them to know so quickly. On the other hand, Amin didn't know why he didn't mention it.

These three people also couldn't come up with effective means, as for suggesting that Renzong personally levy Jianjiao and fight back against the invasion, they were vetoed by Renzong just by showing their mouths.

Unable to discuss a good way, Renzong had no choice but to order a perfunctory construction, and at the same time let all parts of the country resist, and with the attitude of a dead horse as a live horse doctor, he sent someone to ask for help from the Ming Dynasty.
