Huang Taiji hated Ji'er Harang and Hu Li now, and if the two were still alive, most of them would not be able to escape his punishment.

The only thing that can be determined is the caravan, and the Mongolian people replied with certainty that the caravan was large in number and set out from Zhangjiakou, and it must be the Fan caravan.

Zhiwen they all the way east, when dealing with these Mongolian people, deliberately vague about their identity, if someone asked them whether they were members of the Fan family, they often laughed and passed, in order to act conveniently, this kind of behavior obviously made the Mongolian people misunderstood, the eight grain merchants in the outside of the Saiwai walking route has been fixed and mature, there is no need to be a family leader, is because although I did not see the heads of the families and some familiar shopkeepers, but these Taiji people are not suspicious.

But this news is also not a good thing for Huang Taiji, with the help of these things in the caravan, it will only make Amin's strength higher and more difficult to deal with.

The successive bad news made Huang Taiji lose interest, and he casually dealt with these Mengren Taiji, and then took the people back to Shengjing, where there were more troublesome things waiting for him.

"Bang dang!" , A loud crisp sound came from the imperial study in the Shengjing Imperial Palace, and a celadon vase fell to the ground and fell to pieces.

Huang Taiji sat on the chair, his chest was undulating, his breath was unstable, and his mind was restless, this celadon vase was the last time he entered the customs, I don't know which big family in the Central Plains came from, Huang Taiji has always cherished it, but now he has been dropped, obviously angry.

As soon as he returned to Shengjing, he heard another piece of bad news.

"Your Majesty, don't be angry." Fan Wencheng whispered on the side, the reason why Huang Taiji was so angry was because of what he just said, but this kind of thing can't help but say.

According to a detailed report from the Guannei, the eight major grain merchants in Zhangjiakou headed by Fan Xuan were burned to ashes by a fire one night not long ago, and none of them escaped.

"Humph!" Huang Taiji sighed heavily in his nose, "I thought that the new emperor of the Ming Kingdom was nothing more than that, but I didn't expect that he was quite skillful, and he actually did it to the Fan family regardless of it." ”

What happened to Amin was enough to make him feel bad, Huang Taiji was on the way back to Shengjing, while feeling heartbroken about the loss of the Eight Banners, and at the same time thinking about how to explain to the rest of the powerful people of the Jin Kingdom, but he didn't expect that before his ass could sit firmly, there would be even worse things.

"Your Majesty must not ignore this emperor of the Ming Kingdom, this person is good at forbearance, and you can see the clues from his elimination of Wei Zhongxian." Fan Wencheng said, he has the same opinion as Huang Taiji, the mastermind behind the destruction of the eight grain merchants must be the emperor of the Ming Kingdom, and the others do not have such courage and strength, on the surface, it is the governor of the Ming Dynasty who leads the matter, but in fact he should just be an errand runner.

As for what to do carefully, the consequences of arson, are all excuses that make people laugh, as the upper echelons of the Jin country, no one does not know the importance of those people in Zhangjiakou to Dajin, how could they do such a stupid thing.

Huang Taiji nodded, indicating that he knew, no matter how eloquent he was, he was a little caught off guard, and he couldn't take care of the caravan that appeared in the blue flag that he was still thinking about on the return trip.

Regardless of whether this caravan was sent before the fall of the Fan family, or some other merchant who wanted to pick up the leaks, anyway, it is now cheap Amin, but unfortunately, so much food has been harmed by Amin's gang.

The most important thing at the moment is the food problem, and it is necessary to raise enough grain and grass before the southern expedition, and the Fan family is gone, so the matter is a little tricky.

Although Huang Taiji believes that as long as it takes some time, he can always find a replacement for the Fan family, these Central Plains businessmen, all of whom are extremely greedy, dare to do anything for those benefits.

However, the replacement candidate is not something that can be determined for a while, and the strength of the business, whether it is reliable, etc., all need to be considered.

In this way, there is no source of food in the west, and the Jin country is equivalent to being cut off an arm, and the grain can only be decided from the east.

"No, you have to let Daishan or Mang Gurtai lead the troops to North Korea." Huang Taiji said.

"Your Majesty, North Korea has always been poor and weak, and I'm afraid I won't be able to get much food." Fan Wencheng said.

"I can't do it," Huang Taiji said, "mosquito legs are also meat." ”

As for arranging for Daishan or Mang Gurtai to go, it is because although Korea has been conquered, its monarchs and ministers are still interested in the Ming Kingdom, and to deal with them Jianzhou Jurchen, they have always been prevaricating, pretending to be stupid, and all kinds of means are used to the extreme, and only these two big beylers can suppress them, and if they change others, they may not be able to gain anything.

"Also," Huang Taiji then instructed, "don't push the rats in Dongjiang Town of the Ming Kingdom too hard these days, we can retreat a little, give them more room to move, and then buy some food from them in the name of North Korea or fish skin tartars." ”

Fan Wencheng nodded silently, but he knew in his heart that this was just a way to talk better than nothing, those guys in Dongjiang Town were also poor, Ming Guo had been in arrears with their military salaries, and there was famine on many islands.

Of course, they are not helping the poor and giving Dongjiang Town room for their activities, but in fact they give these people space to move, and as long as they are well managed, they can still buy some high-priced grain from these people.

Huang Taiji doesn't know these conditions, pay more and get less, especially the latter method, the price of obtaining food is too high, but there is no way, who told them to lack food now.

It's really not good, I'm afraid I have to send troops in advance, but the timing of the attack has to be thought of, although now Dajin's soldiers do not need to participate in the spring plowing and autumn harvest, but the Ming Kingdom can not help but take the autumn harvest into account, the attack is early, the grain in the field is not yet mature, all the green seedlings, the gains outweigh the losses, the attack is late, the grain is taken away, it is even more boring.

That's right, Huang Taiji's current robbery target has changed from gold jewelry to grain.

Fan Wencheng was about to say goodbye, and Huang Taiji asked again, "By the way, Fan Zhangjing, what do you think about the blue flag?" ”

The changes that happened in the blue flag, the magnates of Houjin may not have known about it, but it definitely does not include Fan Wencheng.

Fan Wencheng and Huang Taiji's thoughts are the same, that is, it is not suitable for troops to enter Mobei at present, and they can no longer make enemies everywhere, to be honest, he is not optimistic about this kind of grassland pursuit war in his heart, there is still a gap between the Jurchens' kung fu and the Mongolian people, and most of them are heavy horses, and it is not difficult to defeat the other party when encountering light horses, but it is not easy to annihilate.
