In addition, Chongzhen also wants to let the people know that the court is fair, and the emperor is dedicated to the people, even if the Qingtian Lord in front of him is tired to death, the court will definitely send new good officials to benefit the people.

Only in this way can the people live in peace and stability.

"But what about the food he covets?" Zhou Yingluo was distressed.

Chongzhen got up and walked outside the door and looked to the west: "Jinzhou is so big, if the grain disappears out of thin air, it must be transferred out.

However, there is plenty of food in the customs area, and it is not worth a few dollars to sell it. Liaodong was initially determined, and the seizures were very abundant, and there was no need for much food; When immigrants first arrived, they didn't have much money to buy food.

Then, the only place where Fang Shangxian can sell grain and make money is ...... Mongolia!"

Tian Shouxin was shocked: "Could it be that Fang Shangxian sold the grain to Monan Mongolia?"

Chongzhen shook his head: "Although there is a certain possibility, with the help of the imperial court, the food in Monan Mongolia is quite sufficient."

"What does the emperor mean, Fang Shangxian is an enemy?" Tian Shouxin was shocked, Monan Mongolia is indeed not short of food, even if it is lacking, he will go to Xifengkou and other places to exchange with the Ming government.

After all, they have already belonged to the Ming Dynasty, and there are Ming officials in the tribe, and they will not buy large quantities of rations through smuggling.

Those who are willing and have the strength to buy so much grain in one go must be tribes such as Tumut Mongols who are short of food and clothing due to the destruction of Jianlu.

Tian Shouxin understood the stakes here, and hurriedly said:

"Your Majesty, the minister will send people to the west to find Fang Shangxian's grain cart!"

Chongzhen waved his hand, "No need, I've already let the Jinyi Guard go."

In fact, a few days ago, the Long Army found that on the bank of the Daling River in the north of Jinzhou, there were traces of a large group of chariots and horses passing by.

And it was separated on the grain transportation route.

At that time, Chongzhen didn't think that anyone would dare to steal and sell migrant grain.

But this kind of sudden appearance of carriages and horses is definitely not a good phenomenon.

So Chongzhen, who was bored all the way, sneaked out of the emperor's guard of honor with more than a dozen people and paid a private visit near Jinzhou.

It was easy to find out about the shortage of food rations for immigrants.

At this time, Chongzhen faintly had an ominous premonition, and immediately contacted Jinyiwei and Dongchang, asking them to act separately and thoroughly investigate the grain transportation and grain distribution ledger.

It's a pity that Fang Shangxian made the accounts too perfect and deceived the Ming secret agency, but Zhu Youjian, who had gone through nine years of compulsory education, easily saw the flaws.

But what he didn't expect was that the officials in Jinzhou not only had good accounts, but also had good acting skills, and the immigrants in Jinzhou took rations and almost regarded these people as saviors.

forced Chongzhen to go under the knife directly.

At this time, a team of 20 Jinyi guards galloped all the way to the west with 300 elite soldiers of Liao.

They knew that if Fang Shangxian wanted to resell the grain of the immigrants, it would be impossible for them to take the main road, and they could only carefully avoid cities, villages, and Mongolian tribes, so they must be walking very slowly.

As long as they look slowly, they can always find clues and follow the traces of the convoy.

On the third day, the news of Fang Shangxian's death from exhaustion spread all over Jinzhou, and the people wailed.

"Coincidentally" the Ming Emperor who passed through this place learned about it, and personally ordered a thick burial and posthumously awarded the title.

At the same time, he told the people that he would definitely send better officials to Jinzhou to benefit the local area.

Zhou Yingluo looked at the people who couldn't cry, and almost thought that Fang Shangxian was a clean official, if she didn't know the whole story, she probably would have to shed a few tears and complain that God didn't have long eyes.

While mourning Fang Shangxian, the people thanked the court and bowed to Chongzhen three times and nine times.

"With such a good emperor, what are we worried about!"

"The court that loves the people so much was formed by Emperor Chongzhen, long live my emperor!"

Under the deliberate guidance, the public opinion of the people shifted from mourning Fang Shangxian to praising Chongzhen.

The people's hearts in Jinzhou have risen to a new level.

A few days later, the Ming army heading west was finally found

Fang Shangxian's convoy.

At the same time, the coachman sent out by Fang Shangxian saw the Ming army chasing after him, and immediately panicked, some people knew that they couldn't leave, so they immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, and some people fled in a panic.

Naturally, the Jinyi guard would not let them run away, and in a few sprints, he killed those people.

The rest of the people trembled, and they didn't need Jinyiwei to use heavy punishment, so they told what they knew.

"The emperor has an order to transport these grains back to Jinzhou, and send another 200 people to disguise themselves as coachmen and continue to march westward, and they will meet buyers!" Jinyi Wei Baiqi said loudly.

At this point, the pursuing party was divided into two groups, one group of men went back, and the other group took some empty cars, drove the coachmen, and continued westward.

Jin Yiwei asked the coachman to be the guide, pulled the empty car and quickly headed west, and it took only three days to reach the trading place 10 miles away.

Jin Yiwei asked the coachman to load the empty cart with ice, snow and stones, and rushed to the trading place first, where they laid an ambush in the distance.

I thought I would have to wait a few days, but the hungry Mongols arrived at the trading place 3 days early.

When they saw that the grain convoy of the Ming female merchants had arrived, they all surrounded it, and there was no trade or exchange, so they suddenly drew their swords and faced each other, killed all the coachmen, and seized the grain carts.

Jin Yiwei was surprised to see it from a distance, "I didn't expect the Mongols to play black and eat black!"

"It's normal, there is no Jianlu, they live in poverty, there are no Jin merchants, they have no food source, and when winter comes, it is estimated that they will have to secretly send people to Guannai to buy grain at a high price. I'm afraid I'll spend all my money......

"Head, shall we go up?" A pawn asked.

"You stupid, didn't you see five or six hundred people over there, and we rushed up and sent them to death?"

"Shall we withdraw, then?" The pawn asked again.

"You stupid, if we make a move, we will definitely be discovered by them, and when the time comes, the Mongols will know that we are cowardly, and they will definitely attack, and it will not be good to be surrounded."

"What then?" The pawn scratched his head.

Baiqi smiled, "Fire the black gun, and it's 200 people who fire in four teams to keep the firepower out!"

"Aren't we exposed? What should we do if the Mongols attack and surround us?"

"When the Mongols find out that the grain cart is fake, they will naturally know that they have been fooled, and with the rapid and intensive fire on our side, they will only think that they are surrounded, and it is too late to run, how can they attack it!"

The pawn scratched his head thoughtfully.

Baiqi ordered, "Divide into four teams, listen to my command."

The Ming army that conquered Liao could be described as a division of a hundred victories, all of them were well-trained, and they quickly dispersed and put on a good posture.

Seeing that the Mongols had finished inspecting all the grain wagons, the hundred banners were cursing angrily, and immediately ordered to open fire.

Bang bang bang......

Shots rang out, and lead bullets flew towards the Mongols, causing a rain of blood.

Jinyiwei's hundred banners smacked his tongue, my obedient, the marksmanship of the Liao Fire Dragon Army is too accurate.

If I had known, I had gotten closer, and maybe my 200 men would have been able to wipe out 600 of the enemy.

When the Mongols were attacked, they immediately knew that they had been scheming, and when they heard the intensity of the gunfire, the enemy army was no less than a thousand, and they immediately began to develop their survival skills and flee for their lives.
